Has anyone gotten this for a regular Wii and got it working? Can a USB 3.0 external hard drive even work with the Wii?

You dont need a Y cable for the Wii, just for the Wii U. And for your second question, YES, an USB 3.0 external hard drive works with the Wii

This works any usb port really. Its designed to give self powered devices like 2.5inch external HDD's extra power when the usb port is low power. Also USB 3.0 will work on older usb 2 and even 1 ports. It will just slower transfer speeds.

NO!!!!!! This crap didn't work for me at all. Thought it was my wii controller at first thinking it wasn't reading it. Then I tried it on someone else's wii and still didn't work.

I think a special cable is needed for wii... I use it with the PS3 by the standar usb cable.

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

No, the drive just replaces the optical drive of the Wii. The internal memory is left untouched. It's pretty easy to swap out. Watch a youtube video on how to open your wii up first if you are unsure.

Thanks for your input. What do you mean by 'buy a regular one'? Can I get a SDHC reader that will work with wii, or do you mean get a different card? I really like the Transcend card but it's a pain not being able to use it with the wii.

Some need only about 30MB, and others need well over a gig. But, you can add a cheap 32GB SD card for more storage. Also, keep in mind that for any WIIU games (non-legacy) you are only allowed to download them to an external HD, NOT the internal memory and NOT to the an SD card.

To my knowledge, it only works to connect Wii Classic Controller style controllers to a computer via USB port. I don't make the product nor do I professionally test it. I'm mainly using it for emulation and other games I can get that will support it.

Not sure, it was a direct replacement for the DVD drive in the Wii, and for that it works great!

With the basic set your 2gb has to cover game saves for wii u games and downloads However the easy solution is get a usb 3.0 powered hdd from amazon and exponecolly expand your very limited storage with a 2-3 TB hdd you can even dl full games from e-shop want smash faster dl it the day of release. Best advice get a external powered hdd.

I don't think it does, I use it for xbox 360, and the box says it's used for xbox 360, PS3, or PSP. Nothing about wii.

It works very well as an external drive for xbox one. I specifically bought it for my xbox one. It's been more than 6 months now and no issue what so ever.

Yes. This HD works perfectly with the Wii U... so far at least !! Had it for a year now.

Works on mine, running the same. It just shows up like any other USB External Hard Drive would. Just remember not to force the drive into the case. (They may ship you the wrong screws at first)

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!
