If my friend gives me his terabyte hard drive and leaves a lot of his music, music videos, and movies does the WiiU have a media player I can play it on? Or should I have him clear the hard drive??
Thanks!!!

Im pretty sure when you hook it up to the console it will wipe everything anyway, because it will have to format the hdd into the format the wii u can read.

Thank you sir! After it formats would I be able to play music and videos? Appreciate the info. I just have a feeling 32GB is not going to be enough come two years down the road.

No, the Wii U will wipe everything and only the Wii U will be able to read what is on the HDD after that.

There is currently no way to view media files on the Wii U other than via the web browser and you cannot download anything from the browser either.

You better transfer the medias on a PC/Mac before then use it on your WiiU /captainobvious
