This morning I spent about 4-5 hours moving stuff, deleting stuff and formatting my 1TB external hard drive to prepare it for use with the Wii U. It is a USB 3.0 but is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, will that work with the Wii U?

No reason why it shouldn't. If its self powered then it should be fine. If its USB bus powered then you may need a USB Y cable.
