Where can I find external hard drives with external power supplies?

[RedP]

I’m looking for a reasonably priced 500gb drive if possible. I can‘t seem to find one. I don‘t want to risk using a usb powered hard drive in case it might not work with my Wii.


If you want to send links please send EU store links like amazon.de (and the other eu ones) or other big online eu stores.

Thanks in advance!

I use one pretty similar to this (well 3) for my WiiU. Works well with vWii at least. (I could check if the drive/enclosure works with on Wii hardware in a bit.)

Link to chassis

My solution is to buy HDD and chassis separately, as the enclosures with external power seem to be pretty rare to nonexisten these days.

I use a wd blue with sabrent enclosure. It has a power toggle switch too.

You need to look for 3.5" HDD, as 2.5" HDD/SSD can be powered via USB.

Does chassis equal enclosure? Because ehen I search HDD chassis enclosures (or so called) come up.

Yeah, probably you can find those on your local computer parts stores as well, just linked the first one I found at German Ebay.
