    Most wii game files are 4gb or more and depending on how many gmaes you plan on having, a 500 gig to start will do.

      Most games are under 2gb m8. new super Mario is 35mb. So its depending on the game. My 320Gb HDD has 147 games and its just over half filled.

          when you put a iso onto a hdd/usb thumb only the game is put onto the drive thus a game showing 3.7 gig might only be 1.5 gig or smaller,my super mario is 530mb on thumb drive

                Have you guys use WBFS Manager to install it on the drive? if not that is why your drive is filling quickly.

                Let me explain:
                Wii dvd games/iso contain 3 partition:
                1: The actual games.
                2: The updates.
                3: Random crap that nintendo use to fill the space.

                So, even though the dvd iso will say 4.37g but the actual games are lot less than that. When you use WBFS Manager, the program will only transfer the games to your drive and leave all the others.

                Hope this help.

                  Yep ... Just put 4 Iso's on a 8 GB Flash usb Stick ... If they were Minimum 4 gb each ... that would be 16 gb at least ... So
                  The actual game itself is calculated rather than the actual
                  4 Gig File ... Thanks for the Tip
