I dusted my old Wii off recently and my kids are enjoying it. Just be aware that you'll have varying degrees of success with different hard drives. I have an old 240GB drive that launches, plays and exits games flawlessly. I cloned it to a 640GB drive (and increased the partition size) so I can store more games. When playing games from the 640GB drive, games play but will hang (black screen) at random times, usually after completing a level or pressing start at a title screen, presumably when the game is reading from disk/loading the next scene/level/menu/song. I've tried swapping the hard disks into different caddy's and the result is always the same, 240GB toshiba HDD just works, 640GB WD Blue hangs during games. Both HDD's test healthy in CrystalDiskInfo. I'm going to try a spare 750GB drive today and see how it goes.

@@pedrosretrogamefindsThanks for the reply! I modded the Wii years ago and am a bit rusty. I think I had a powered HDD back in the day which worked fine. I suspect the Wii USB port can't provide sufficient power to my larger HDD's so I've ordered a usb Y adapter from Amazon. I needed a Y adapter to power my WiiU HDD and I never thought it may be the issue my Wii is having. My portable HDD's are old internal drives stripped from computers and may have higher power requirements than a typical external drive.
