if you're thinking of getting a usb, get a usb hard drive instead
Can’t recommend a stick, get an HDD instead
It would be on the bottom port (port 0) or if you play in vertical it would be the left port
What brand do y’all got Samsung ? Or what ?
All that I can find are sticks that are 128gb no hdd that have 128gb
The lowest I can find as a hdd is a 250gb usb hdd
I’m on Amazon
That’s where I’m Looking at @strong tusk
Probably because most people just opt for bigger storage when it comes to HDD
@surreal lodge USB sticks just don't work well with the Wii. A USB hard drive should. You can get a 320gb one for like $20
Any usb hard drive 2tb or smaller should work. If you're low on money, just get the cheapest one you can find
Here is a very cheap 320gb HDD:

If you want something with a reliable warranty and might be made of better material, get a 1tb one from a known brand like WD, Seagate, or Toshiba:

You can also use any 2.5" SATA drive with an enclosure known to work with the Wii:

If you're using a Wii U, remember the Wii U doesn't supply enough power via one USB port to power a hard drive. The hard drive needs to be externally powered or use a Y cable so it's powered by two USB ports.
Here is an example:

Idk if you're still looking but I got a USB HDD second hand for way cheaper than retail
Seagate 1tb serving me nicely for $30
if you are going for SATA/SSD + enclosure I'd get em brand new tho
no y cable needed either
but recommended
