Hi everyone.

I bought the Legend of Zelda 2 days ago. I had to buy a thumbdrive because I didn't had enough space. After 2 days my Wii U won't detect the thumbdrive anymore.

So I read a lot. I heard that you shouldn't use thumbdrives because they are dying really fast. But after 2 days?
Btw. It's a SanDisk thumbdrive 32GB.

I tried to start the move/copy mode in the settings but if the drive is plugged in it will crash.

Thanks in advance.

Most people here understand electronics way better than me, so I'll just mention my experience: I've used a thumbdrive on my WiiU for 3 years now and I've never had a single problem.
Have you tried formatting the thumbdrive and basically restarting the process from scratch?! You will be able to redownload all your games from the eShop anyway.

Top-10 games I played in 2017: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (WiiU) - Rogue Legacy (PS3) - Fallout 3 (PS3) - Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - Guns of Boom (MP) - Sky Force Reloaded (MP) - ...

Technically speaking your thumbdrive is where the game is right? So the system is having to load the game through a single USB port, and its a lot of game.

With Wii U, it is advised you don't do that, or use a HDD with two ports in use, as the system cant power the storage device, and pull via one port efficiently enough.
