I have a Wii U Deluxe Set, and with the recently released Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the storage I have left is about 3 gb. I am planning on buying an External Hard Drive. I already saw the recomendations Nintendo gives: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wiiu/en_na/system_external_storage.jsp?menu=general_info&submenu=wup-external-usb-devices
I liked the Buffalo (

and Seagate (http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/backup-plus-desk/) ones. However, I find it odd that when I look for the price the 1 TB model costs more than the 2 TB, in the case of the Buffalo. I like this one because it says it also supports USB 2.0 and the Seagate one doesn't (at least I think it doesn't, it only says USB 3.0) but it wouldn't be in the recommendations Nintendo gives if it didn't. I liked the Seagate one because some people say it works fine.
The other thing is that I've seen posts and other threads that addressed problems with freezing, or slower loading times, etc. Maybe this has been patched or something, I haven't seen any of those lately. That's another concern I have about the Hard Drives.
Does this happen to Wii U's in normal conditions or does it just happens on Wii U's with problems?
