Nice price!
I got these today. No idea if they work with the wiiu, though I can probably test them when they arrive.

Got them for video and image backup.
Nice price!
I had a long talk with a friend of mine and he dug in a bit further. The Wii U's max storage allowance is 2 TB max. The system won't see anything past that.
Also the Wii U uses what he said is a 32 bit bus which means he said that the drive you'll want is nothing over USB 2.0. My 1 TB Drive is a 3.0 which is what was causing the issue. A separate power source is also suggested as well. Did a bit of digging and this helped a ton

This faq answered some more questions as well.

I guess you can use that old external drive with your new PC.
I doubt you’ll be able to just copy your files over to a new drive, the way these consoles lock everything down.

You could just buy a cheap USB 2.0 enclosure and put the HDD in that.
Yeah I already said get a USB 2.0 enclosure.
So you did. It's unanimous.
Well I found this..

This should solve any problems. I'll copy over all my updated data to this new drive then format the old one and use it for my PC. Like I told Gamevet when we met in person, there are some titles on the eshop I would 100% suggest going after since yeah, The Switch's shop is sorta there. Super Mario Bros 3 for the Gameboy Advance is one of the major things to me since that version on the eshop has ALL the E-reader content that was released for the game including the exclusive Japan only cards.
Lot of fun content to be had in it.

yeah both of those should work great.
I might have gave you the wrong info on your old HDD. I started thinking about it and IDE is actually from the late 80s, into the early 90s. I think you might actually have a PATA (Parallel ATA) drive. Did it have a 40 pin ribbon cable?

These were used in computers built in mid 90s, up to around late 2000s, when everyone started using SATA.
