I've never had a problem with any usb drives on my wii's.
Have used a couple of the WD Elements in 2.5" and 3.5" flavours, so USB powered and mains powered.

cheers tombott, I think I'll risk getting one..

i have used loads of different drives:

500Gb 2.5" WD elements
1Tb 2.5" buffalo ministation
random 2.5" 160Gb satas in 4 quid caddys

all have worked no problem.

Remember that the drive needs to be formatted fat32 though as NTFS wont work.

Also you can use WiiMC to play divxs on the same drive....

cheers, I've just ordered a western digital drive could only get 750gb, which will be plenty for me..

Grab homebrew browser and install from hbc

Then browser will let you install stuff..

I've used the seagate drives on a few for the family and had no problems at all
