Which USB device do you use?

[BlackOmega]

I've looked at the list at GBATEMP.NET but it would be interesting to see what people on a UK forum are using.
Which USB memory sticks or HDD's work and where you got them.

My first attempt was an old 40gig fujitsu MHT2040AT from a Sony Vaio laptop it's in an enclosure (Ebay) and it has failed miserably.

So for now I'm using a 4gig USB stick from Ebay sold as Samsung but unbranded. That's working a treat at the moment.

Does anyone know if the Play.com own brand 16gig USB sticks work in the Wii?

try checking this list USB Compatibility List (http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/36504-usb-compatibility-list.html)

They do and the 8 Gig Version, I used Both ... But If Your
Buying off Play.com then go for the 500GB or 1TB seagate
usb External drive ... I bought them too and they Work Great,
Good Luck,

Thank's for the info stopmotion :top:

I've managed to get my old 40gig drive working now. It would appear that the cheap Ebay enclosure was the problem.
I had an IDE/SATA to USB cable so I popped the drive out and connected it directly. Uloader picked it up straight away.

Happy days :D

Powered ... If You don't Power It then It would draw off the Wii,
Which is not recommended ... Good Luck,
