Re: Editorial: Losing It All - When a Wii U's External Hard Drive Dies

Bytec

In this day and age everyone should be aware about protecting important data. Every storage medium will degrade!

When I invested in external storage for my Wii U I also made sure to back it up regularly.

Relying on assumptions like "it won't happen to me" or "I believe the system will take care of itself" is just ignorant - you must prepare plan B or make sure that it's provided by the system (such as auto backup).

I've lost data in the past, but since then I've disciplined myself to care about data protection - haven't lost any data since then.
