Weird, i plugged in the sdcard adapter with a SDXC class 10 64gb sdcard and went through the format part, but it wont detect it! :(

It just stays at "checking usb storrage device" :/



I found out that the sdcard usb adapter only supported up to 32gb :P Will the wii-u be able to read from a 64gb usb 3.0 pen?

Probably not but you can always try. How many GB do you think you need?

Ok. it might also be the speed class 10 thats not supported so a USB or lower class might work.

Psvita does not support other sticks than sonys you know  :P

And i got class 4 32gb on my 3ds with 17-18gb used of games and demos.

But wii-u's has bigger games which needs faster speeds.

Hehe :P

But i've decided just to get a 1TB external instead.

But is the wii-u's usb ports powerfull enough to power up a WD my passport ultra, that only uses one usb cable for transfer and power?

Cause the good old wii was, but not sure about the wii-u

If you're already at 50gb then a 64gb drive won't last long. I think it wouldn't hurt to look around and see if you can find an old external 250gb drive. I had one from a few years back that I now have permanently plugged into my Wii U, at least until they come out with a really tiny yet not insanely expensive 128gb flash drive.

With a USB SD card reader it will count it as a USB. It can read USB's that big no problem.
