if you're thinking of getting a usb, get a usb hard drive instead

It would be on the bottom port (port 0) or if you play in vertical it would be the left port

@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
