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?

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

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

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