myster0n Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 A little warning about usb HDDs : I have an expensive toy at home, namely the Korg Triton Extreme, and it supports HDDs via usb, but : it does NOT support ALL HDDs (in fact, they have a list of HDDs that don't work with it, never mind "unsupported"). So if something as expensive as that can't support all usb HDDs, what about something as cheap as the Wii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 There's no generic driver for USB HDDs like there is for USB memory sticks because they're more complex. USB hard drives often need a specific driver per manufacturer. I highly doubt Nintendo will bother putting any USB HDD support in the Wii, really, except for maybe iPods. I'll be buying a 4 GB SD memory card when my flash memory runs out and that'll be enough for its lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinesN Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Ummm.... USB mass storage drivers.... they cover USB memory sticks, USB hard drives, and anything else that is properly configured to be a USB mass storage device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm sorry, I thought you guys meant these external hard drives which really can get fussy about drivers, and not those USB HDDs that actually are memory sticks XXL. Those should probably work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those should probably work Yes i'm referring to those with a USB interface. I believe they use the same unified drivers but i'm not sure. Would be nice!

guaglio Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I thought it was obvious from the images. Or were people expecting something extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
