Topic: Wii U HD About To Die?

I've noticed that my 2 year old WD hard-drive which has worked flawlessly up until now is starting to experience some issues. While playing games on the HD the games freeze periodically for a split second and then skip ahead to current. And loading times have dramatically increased for the games downloaded onto my hard-drive. Do you guys think that my hard-drive might be on the verge of breaking down?

contact nintendo's support

@6ch6ris6: Uh...you do realize that Nintendo won't fix random hard-drives right?
The games work fine on the system memory so it's definitely a hard-drive issue.

Buy a new hard drive and transfer all of your stuff.

@Tasuki: So do you think it's on the verge of failure?

Try a different USB cord and port on the WiiU. Also maybe try another HDD if you can to check if it's the WiiU. You can at least determine which thing is having the issue.

Wouldn't hurt to do so. It all depends on how much use it gets.

Better to be safe than sorry and transfer everything now, lest you lose your save data later.

@Tasuki: @Dankykong: @sillygostly: Thanks for the advice! I can't afford one atm, but I'll save up some money to purchase one next month.
