Can this particular drive be used with the Wii U?

You need to address this question to sellers of Wii U . The hard drive is standard for USB 2.0 and 3.0. It is the problem of hardware ( computers, game consoles, tablets ) manufacturers to support this standard.If Wii U supports USB Hard drives, than this hard drive will work with it

I know this is an old question, but it's voted high, so for future reference, you can't use an SD card to store Wii U data, but you can easily use an external hard drive, or even a flash drive/memory stick for Wii U data storage.

Some external hard drives need the extra power from a second port on the Wii U. Its not necessary on the Wii from my experience.

Yes, it will work with the Wii U provided the audio output is LPCM. From what I have read, most current games for the Wii support LPCM audio output.David

I don't have a Wii U, so I don't know if this card will work. Please check the Wii U website for further details on the product specifications.

if you're going to use a wall outlet, then why not just buy "non-USB powered" storage? That would only require one USB port off your Wii U and one plug off a wall. The sole reason I gave up 2 USB ports on my Wii U was because I wanted to use only "USB powered drives" and not use another wall outlet for power or have more cords everywhere. As far as powered the second USB attachment on the cable from a wall outlet, I really have no idea. You might want to contact the manufacturer.

I don't know but I seen a feature in the settings that allows you to transfer data from Wii to Wii U.

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.

Technically it is. But you must have a wiimote so you can attach it into it , it's very useful if you got the wiiU and want to play wii games on it

Yes absolutely! Almost everything that was used with the original Wii can be used with the Wii U

Yes. You can pretty much format any drive you like to a FAT32. You can find many freeware programs that will do this. It still is going strong as my Wii U storage device.

Nope! It's the receiver is built into the Wii U just like Xbox and Sony have done

Yes, you could use it for the Game Cube any type of disk would work in this.

I have this and the directions state "This converter is designed for Wii only ! Pls do not connect with other devices" So it's not to be used with the WiiU.

Because I've not tried to play games from a disc using this drive, I don't know for sure. Maybe you can. If you can copy the game from the disc (in the drive) to your computer, I suppose it is possible. However, copy protection might be an obstacle.
