Which external USB Drive for my Wii?

[Vlad1var]

Hi all,

I'm a noob to Homebrew and softmodding. I've just installed Homebrew using the guide provided by Dohnke here.

I reckon i'll most likely run into problems trying to burn my back-ups so I was thinking of getting an external USB drive to do the job.

Before I rush out and buy one, does anyone have any advice on any makes/models of USB drives, will I need to install any software (drivers?) for the Wii to recognise and utilise the USB drive.

Any other advice appreciated.

What are your thoughts on this drive? will it be okay for use with a Wii, or should I look elsewhere?
