I don't think USB flash drive sticks are usable on Wii U, and the maximum sd card size is 32 GB, but the sd cards can only be used for Wii mode

it depends on what amount of data you think you will need to store.

the sd cards are only for wii transfers, a 32gb usb will be ok for the time being, but a external hd would be better in the long run really, depends on how much you want to spend.

up to 2tb usb
32gb sd, but maybe 2tb depending on the card.

Thanks, i have a usb drive but don't want it plugged in all the time, i didn't realise the sd slot was only for Wii mode. So is 32gb the max size usb that's been tested then?

No and i wouldn't recommend a usb stick nintendo has already warned gamers that a usb flash drive of any sort will fail because it reads and writes to the drive hundreds of times every time you use the console and the max for most flash based drives is 1,000 hours before the drive fails or you get a read error message i recommend a 2tb external the my book essentials that works on usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 works perfectly and shuts off when the console shuts off

Do not use a USB Flash Drive. As johnodd4 said. (read it)
Buy yourself a Western Digital hard disk.
You can plug in a 3TB hard disk into the Wii U.
I think that's the maximum.
