Oyen DigitalMiniPro 1TB External USB 3.1 Portable Hard Drive for Nintendo Wii U

I bought this for my Wii U and it works flawlessly plug and play with the dual USB cable and no power brick plugged in. Xenoblades and Zelda BOTW downloaded fine. Previously I tried using an SD adapter with 400 GB SD card and only small games < 1 GB would download completely while titles like Zelda would fail hours and gigabytes in time after time. This drive works perfectly and I bought it based on Wii U compatibility. Happy customer so far.

I have a Wii U, and it very quickly ran out of hard drive space. But, most games these days are downloaded, not bought on disk, and even the disk games generally have downloaded content and updates which are quite large in size. At first I thought that 2TB was a ridiculous overkill, but then I installed it and downloaded a few games, which were several GB in size each, and the games that I had downloaded the optional content and updates, and before I knew it I had nearly 500GB used. I am thinking I am actually going to run out of space, so if you are looking to upgrade your Wii U and thinking 2TB is too big, you are WRONG. Believe me.So, this comes with a cable meant specifically for the Wii U. It connects to 2 USB connection, and that gives it the power it needs, and the data connection to the Wii U. It comes with a separate power adapter, but you don't need it.I plugged it in to the Wii U, and turned on the Wii, and it turns on. The Wii immediately found it, and formatted it, and that was that. When the Wii is turned off it powers down the drive. What else can you ask for?Pros: Very small, case feels rugged. Cable comes meant for Wii, and gets power and data from Wii directly. Powers up and down with the Wii. Wii automatically finds and formats, no installation work at all. Size is good for downloading games, content and updates.Cons: I really can't think of any. This is really perfect for the Wii.

It's small, easy to use & comes with a manual for easy set up for your Wii U.I got the 2TB model, though I probably won't need the extra space since I own most of my games physically but with DLC and update data as well as Virtual Console, my 32gb model soon ran out of space, so I wanted to be safe than sorry.The drive comes with it's own 3.1 Y-cable, so you don't need to buy one seperate unless you just prefer a particular brand. The cable it comes with is rather stiff but works just fine.It also comes with an external power supply AC adapter, but you don't need to use it if you are using both USB plugs on the Y-cable. It boots up automatically with the Wii U when powered on, or when it goes into sleep mode to update.It's so small & sleek, I just love how it looks next to the system. It's really neat. Couldn't ask for a better drive.

The storage capacity is enough for me to own enough space for installments, very quick loading times and it’s not too difficult to get it installed to my Wii U. Love it.

I was skeptical about this, as the price for 1tb is honestly absurd, but I needed a new external for my Wii u and other products I tried just didnt work, so i figured I didnt have much choice and would rely on the guarenteed compatibility.I read people fussing about using two usb slots, which to be fair isnt great, but what I did not expect was the option to EITHER use 2 usb ports OR one usb and an ac adapter in outlet. This was perfect as my previous hdd plugged in this way as well.Its sleek so it takes up way less space as the old one, and best yet, it has a power switch so i dont need to let the power stay on even when the Wii u is turned off. Perhaps all this was detailed and i skipped it knowing I just needed something thatd work, but it seems some reviewers didnt pay attention even after receiving the product. The option to use an outlet or usb only is fantastic, and with an on/off switch makes me content with the purchase.Still should not cost so much, though. I can buy a 4tb portable drive for the same price (though without power plug), so hopefully this thing lasts a while.

I brought this to free up some space on my Wii U as I have A LOT of downloaded games from the Nintendo eShop and boy does this do the trick. It was easy to install and it's running with no problem. It even comes with an AC Adapter so that you can run external power to it and not take up both of the USB ports on the back of the Wii U. Anyone who is lookinf to free up space ob their Wii U, this is the thing to get

If you're ever looking to dust off your depressing Wii U with the best games you can ever think of, you can use this product to boost life for your Wii U. Simply plug the hard drive into the wall and into the back USB slots, make a quick format and you now have a working high tier HDD no problem. The size makes the HDD more compact and easy to store if you're having it on the go while traveling and even letting it next to the Wii U. I used my HDD for almost a month now and I haven't encountered any issue during my gameplay sessions. i truly recommend this product.

It was super easy to format to my Wii U,like didn't even take a minute and it was my first time setting up an external hard drive so I was worried it would be hard,but it was super easy and it works good so far haven't had it for very long yet though.

La mejor opciòn para expandir la memoria del Wii U… despuès de buscar tantas opciones para mi consola, ya que anteriormente tenía un disco duro conectado mediante el cable “y”, ciertamente tenía problemas, ya que la consola no podía levantar la energía necesaria para el disco duro y aparentemente esa era la mejor opción según internet. Despues de tratar con varios cables “y” + diferentes discos duros portátiles, en un foro de internet alguien recomendò esta opciòn(con fuente de poder exteena) y esta marca, asi que me decidí por ello. El disco duro está perfectamente configurado para trabajar en Wii U, la velocidad para transferir los juegos tambièn es muy buena, y ya no tengo problemas de desconexiòn de memoria (algo recuerrente con el cable “y”). Decidí abstenerme de escribir una reseña hasta hoy, ya que había leído comentarios que dejaba de funcionar hasta cierto tiempo, llevo con este dispositivo mas de 3 meses y ha estado funcionando perfectamente, ésta definitivamente fue la soluciòn para mi Wii U.

Got 1 of these for my Wii U, took 5 seconds to hook up and power on, 2 seconds to calibrate (idk if i even had to do that) and all of my games transfered to it very fast. Exactly what I wanted.

Bought for a gift for my grandson for his wii system and seems to work great. Delivery was quick on this item.

My daughter has the white basic model Wii U and the only things she has downloaded is Art Academy and the Mario Kart 8 dlc packs. When we tried downloading the second dlc content for MK8, we had message say she didn't have enough memory.I did some research on getting her a external hard drive for her Wii U and I wanted to make sure I got one that was compatible with the Wii U. Although this one isn't the cheapest on the market, I always believe you get what you pay for. The Oyen Digital MiniPro 1TB recognised the Wii U straight away and was very easy to setup. It came with straightforward instructions on how to set up the hard drive to the Wii U. The hard drive is small in size and looks and feels robust . Once everything was connected and working, I just needed to go into the Wii U system menu, so I could transfer the MK8 data over to the hard drive. Then it was all smiles around, because we could finally download the MK8 DLC2 and race the new tracks together.I know in the future my daughter wants to download U Craft, when it is finally released. If you need extra memory for your Wii U, then I 100% recommend this beautiful MiniPro 1TB external hard drive.
