External hard drive

Post by armagad »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

Happy new year 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd have a small question about an external enclosure for my wii.
I currently have an Ice box enclosure but I often have crashes at Wiiflow startup (or any other usb loader) because the power plug is acting up.

I was thinking of getting this one https://www.fnac.com/Western-Digital-My ... 126099/w-4 what do you think?


Thanks in advance for your answers.

Get a verbatim,
I think in terms of compatibility it's the best!
personally never had a problem!

Western why not, but sometimes WD sticks a standby software hidden in the eeprom or a partition of the hdd, which makes usb loaders act up (I'm not saying this model has it).

Verbatim, the best of the best!

+1

- otherwise I suggest this one for the same price https://www.grosbill.com/4-verbatim_sto ... 2_5_pouces

- but why not simply change the case while keeping your hdd!!?? I bought a 2.5" advance brand case for less than 15€ at a Leclerc tech center that works perfectly :bravo:

this exact case: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00113123.html
there are other designs ;)

also comes in white or black with a chrome face.

Ok thanks a lot for your answers.

I'm going to switch to the verbatim you all pointed me to.

I want to change everything because my hard drive is an IDE and finding a compatible case is getting really hard and plus with a complete case everything should normally work.

Thanks again and again, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

and there, I just bought the verbatim 500 go, for now it's running.

A bit scared every time it starts because it shows for 2/3 seconds connect the disk to port 0..... and then it's recognized and hop it works :)

Thanks again for your answers
