That's the cheapest 1TB drive I could find. And yes, I know about the Y cable.

Short answer: Yes.

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

Or you can be like the MAB and wield dual 2TB AC powered HDD for that 4TB full on artillery assault into DIGITAL MADNESS

The answer is a pretty solid "probably".

As long as it's compatible with USB 2.0 I believe it should work (and most 3.0 hard drives are backwards compatible).

It's a USB 3.0 external hard drive. USB 3.0 needs additional power to run on a USB 2.0 port. If it doesn't have an external power source as long as you have a Y cable plugged on the (2) USB 2.0 ports at the back of the Wii U then it will work. You really don't need the gigabit speed offered on USB 3.0 as the USB 2.0 ports on Wii U will limit it to 480 Mbps downlink/uplink speed.
