@Anti-Matter I don't know about PS4 external storage options, sorry, but I can't imagine anything is as fussy and idiosyncratic about it than Wii U.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

The only truly reliable method I've found is using an externally-powered WD Book, as pictured above. In my experience, anything not externally powered is liable to painful experiences of corrupt data.

This is exactly why I went with a hard drive that used external power adapter. When researching, I kept reading about corrupt data and didn't want to risk losing anything.

I do use a USB thumb drive for backup, but it's never plugged into my Wii U 24/7. Only used to backup saves and downloads to copy back later on, it sits in a safe spot. My hard drive is always used when playing games.

@Sunsy yea thanks. I fired it up just to test it. Guess I'll use a y cable since it didn't have enough juice coming from the Wii u.
