If wbfs Manager and wii backup manager are more than complete, they're not exactly the fastest.
Will test then... :bravo: Thanks.

No kidding, in terms of speed, they blow them away!

120 gigs in 10 seconds, that's impressive!

Thanks but why such a utility? Isn't wbfs better than fat for wii games?

I'm a fan of WBFS, but some prefer fat or ntfs to be able to access the disk directly in windows and use it as storage other than for games.
