USB Devices Compatibility List
Anyone is free to edit this list. Vandals will be banned and their IP blocked from further edits.
PLEASE READ ME (Guidelines)
- If you are the first person to add a Device, then the confirmed column should read 0 (as it is unconfirmed). Every person should then add 1 to that when they have verified that outcome.
- Keep it to English! Most people at GBATemp have decent English, if you can't say something in English, then write it down in whatever language you speak and hopefully someone will translate it for you.
- Try to fill out as much as you can.
- Hugely important would be adding a link to the drive and where you bought it. Naming has been a little vague, lets be precise. Drives can differ from batch to batch. If the shop you purchased it from can't be found online, please find the manufacturers web page for that EXACT drive version.
- If you are running the game using a card reader (SD, Memory Stick, CF, etc), list the READER, NOT THE CARD; USB cardreaders are bridge-like in that any card will work with a working reader. Similarly, if using an enclosure that wasn't sold at retail with your hard drive already in it, list the ENCLOSURE, NOT the drive itself.
How to test
Finding your device's USB ID:
Every USB device ever made has its own unique Vendor ID and Product ID, two four-digit hexadecimal numbers that together identify a particular model made by a particular company. If you have a device's Vendor ID and Product ID you can say with confidence whether any two given USB devices are the same model or not.
Windows: Plug the device into your computer. Wait for Windows to initialize the device, if necessary. Open Device Manager, open the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" group, right click on "USB Mass Storage Device", select the "Details" tab, then select "Hardware Ids" from the Property drop-down box. In the big box beneath that there will be one or more lines starting with something like this:
USB\VEN_05E3&DEV_0715
In this case, the Vendor ID is 05E3 and the Product ID is 0715.
If there is more than one "USB Mass Storage Device" listed, unplug any USB device plugged into the system, or failing that, try a different computer. Some computers have built-in cardreaders attached to the USB bus, which can confuse the process.
For ease of use finding you VendorID and ProductID numbers in Windows, you can download USBDeview at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and check the corresponding columns at the programs listing.
Linux:
Plug the device into your computer, wait about 8 seconds (to be safe), then:
$ less /proc/bus/usb/devices
For every USB device in your system (including your root hubs!) there is an entry in this pseudo-file that looks something like this: (the Vendor ID and Product ID are in bold)
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=04 Cnt=01 Dev#= 15 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=05e3 ProdID=0715 Rev=94.07 S: Manufacturer=Genesys S: Product=USB Reader S: SerialNumber=000000009407 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
Note "Driver=usb-storage". This tells you the device is claimed by the usb-storage driver, and is therefore a USB storage device. Obviously, if usb-storage isn't loaded that won't be there; make sure it's loaded!
If there is more than one such block listed, again, unplug other devices from the system, or failing that, try a different computer. Note that you will have to close and re-open the file to see any changes.
Another way to do this in linux:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0951:1603 Kingston Technology Data Traveler 1GB/2GB Pen Drive
The first number is Vendor ID and the second Product ID
Mac: Insert the USB device into your Mac. Wait about 8-10 seconds, to make sure it's detected, and start System Profiler. On the left hand column, under the Hardware heading, find USB. On the top right pane, find and click on the device you are checking (check under the names USB Reader, Mass Storage Device, Generic Storage, Volume, etc.), and more information should appear to the bottom of this pane (now the bottom right). In this area, search for the following information:
USB Reader: Capacity: 1.88 GB Removable Media: Yes Detachable Drive: Yes BSD Name: disk3 Product ID: 0x0715 Vendor ID: 0x05e3 (Genesys Logic, Inc.) Version: 94.07 Serial Number: 000000009407 Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
GeeXboX:
- Check if Device is formated as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS
- Make a Backup. There's a very small Chance that the Stick will get corrupted.
- Load GeeXboX
- Plug your Device in
- See if it shows directories.
Non-Linux based Homebrew:
- Grab your USB-Device
- Check if it's formated as FAT/FAT32, Windows XP doesn't let you format big drives (AFIAK over 40GB) as FAT32, you need to use FAT32Format or a Linux live CD/DVD or a GParted Live CD/DVD.
- Make a Backup. There's a very small Chance that the Stick will get corrupted.
- Go to HBC, plug your Device in.
- Load USB mass storage device tester
USB Loader
- Create a WBFS, NTFS or FAT32 partition on the device, and load a game that is known to work onto the device.
- Connect the device before turning your Wii on, to be safe. Enable any relevant "Disk mode", "USB storage mode" etc. beforehand.
- Boot the game you recorded earlier.
- Play the game for at least one hour before reporting back. Many devices appear to work at first, but have crippling stability issues.
If Problems occur:
- Try to plug the Device at the other USB-Port.
- Try to plug the Device in before entering/in Homebrewchannel. Then load App.
- Try to plug in the Device and then power on Wii.
If the Device does not work
- Try to find a spare Device that will show up.
- Use this to boot the loader.
- Once you have the "No partition found" screen, switch to the original Device.
- Press A. Hopefully, the device will show up on the screen to be formatted.
- If it works, on following loads, you will still need to swap. Instead of formatting every time, press A, then B to go back.
If the Device automatically spins down due to inactivity
Some drives are configured from the factory to automatically spindown after a set number of minutes of inactivity, which could cause issues. Configuration software is usually available to configure such devices to disable this feature.
- For Seagate FreeAgent drives download software here.
- For WesternDigital (WD) drives is the WD-IdleDisable-Tool available.

Toshiba 64GB Transmemory™ (White) - Model# UHYBS-064GH | Not Tested | Not Tested | Issues | Fat32 formatted for use with Wii and Gamecube games with Wii Game Manager for Wii and Discex for Gamecube, both show in CFG and USB Loader GX.
Added info by a different user Aug 2012: All games show up in usb gx but I can only ever get 4 games to work, in Wii flow I can only ever see 4 games, even if there are supposed to be 10 games on it, same thing in cfg Usb loader.....any more than 4 games and it will just keep resetting back to wii menu after you select any game transferred to it after the first 4, I have tried many things, fat32, ntfs, wbfs drive, reformatting several times and still it will just not read more than 4 games, I know the games work fine as I just finished loading them, about 15 game onto a western digital my book essentials and they work perfectly, Don't buy this, works fine for pc/windows, but for the wii it has some serious issues, if anyone knows how to fix them please post. New post - this is the same person posting that only 4 games work, after much more testing it seems as though the Wii will only recognize 8 gigs of the 64 gig thumb stick, which is why only 4 games usually work as the 4 games I was using added up to close to 8 gigs, I can use all 64 gigs on windows/pc just fine, the wii itself seems to only want to recognize 8 gigs, PLEASE post if anyone can confirm they can actually get the full 64 gigs to work with the Wii, as for now I would say avoid this thumbdrive until more people can confirm. Hi. Im from Chile and I tested the Toshiba USB 64 gb. I have the same problem with the recognition. The wii recognizes only 8 gb and when I have more than 8 gb, the wii resets and return to the main menu. I don´t have a solution for this. |

Hello gamers! I purchased a generic 64Gb USB drive online and tried to format FAT32, it was almost impossible. Eventually, it gave me "write protected" error and couldn't get it work even original exFAT format system. I returned it and still waiting my refund. Then, I decided to give a try for name brand USB, bought a "PNY Classsic Attache" 64Gb, 2.0 drive. Of course it was again exFAT and windows is no help formatting it. After researching a bit, I found Verbatim FAT32 Tool program, it is even portable, you don't have to install. I opened it, stick my USB in the pc and right away Verbatim recognized and by its default I was able to formatted into FAT32 in 15 minutes. After that with WBFS Manager 3.0 loaded my backup games and bingo USB Loader GX 3.0 worked flawlessly. Mind you though, stick USB into Wii before you power up the console, and first USBLGX may take sometime to recognize the USB, but will do the rest. Happy gaming!

Maxtor One Toutch 3,5" 300GB | Works | Not Tested | Issues | The USB-Drive works good under Vista, games can be put onto the harddrive using WBFS without problems about 152 games fit on the drive, however USB-Loader v1.1 does not recognize the USB-Drive (tryed as NTFS and as Fat32), after testing i found out that if i open the USB-Drive casing, take the harddrive out and then connect the hardrive to the wii using a simple 3rd party IDE-to-USB converter USB-Loader v1.1 does recognize the USB-Drive and games are selectable and playable. I guess the USB-Loader v1.1 is not compatible with the chipset of Maxtors IDE-to-USB converter. Follow the link for a picture of the Maxtor working with a 3rd party IDE-to-USB converter, [digital8] http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2666/dsc03243b.jpg. EDIT1.: Homebrew does work on the Maxtor One Toutch, no need for the 3rd party IDE-2-USB converter there. EDIT2.: Tested with USB-Loader v1.1 till v1.5. EDIT3.: With Waninkoko's cIOS38Rev12 the drive does work as long as you first boot the USB Loader (Till the No USB Drive found message) and then power up the USB Drive (Un\Replugging the USB cable has no effect). Everytime you exit from the USB Loader you have to repeat the procedure. | 2 | |

Buffalo MiniStation Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive 320GB (HD-PC320U2/BK-EU) | Works | Not Tested | Works | Plugged in to PC and ran WiiBackupManager version 0.4.5 build 78 x86 - created wbfs folder for me. Transferred some files to it and plugged in to my 4.3E PAL Wii. Launched USB Loader GX 2.0 from Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 installed via Letterbomb. Everything I have tried works fine - will update if I have any problems in the future. Update : now upgraded using WADManager 1.7 to USBLoader GX 2.3 on IOS250. I now use a forwarder to launch it rather than running it through the Homebrew Channel or using memory having a seperate channel. Very pleased as games load noticeably faster with this version of USBLoader GX. Update - installed Hermes CiOS 222 as USB devices wanted to use the same USB port as the Hard Drive - in USBLoader GX change options for that game to use CiOS 222 instead of Cios 250 and no problems | 4 | |

EDIT: I needed to turn the drive on after launching Cfg USB Loader, using hermes cios 222v5 too. Update: hermes cios 224 latest version works consistently even when you power the device on before starting cfg. Cios 249 will freeze usb loader with this device!!

LaCie 500GB External USB 2.0 (design by Neil Poulton) | Works | Works | Issues | USB loader recognizes the drive occasionally. Might be fixed on the next version of USB Loader. Edit: Works with this setup:1st partition Fat32 40GB, 2nd partition NTFS 385GB, 3rd partition WBFS 40GB. Plug a usb flash drive into the first usb and plug hdd into second usb to make it detect instantly.
EDIT AGAIN: Does not work with the suggested setup. Completely non-working on all loaders and with all cIOS revisions. EDIT: Confirmed doesn't work. EDIT: Works when using Hermes' cIOS 222/223, but not with Waninkoko's cIOS 249. EDIT: Works with cIOS 249, created 2 partitions, both FAT 32. Formatted the first one twice in a row with ncWBFSTool and then I stopped having the "this is not a wii disc" error when loading games. ---- Had constant compatibility issues. Would not work at all with several loaders, attempted with several CIOS inc Hermes. Began working with USB Loader GX then ceased working with that too despite not making any changes. Tried non-partitioned/partitioned, recommended ideas etc. Gave up, bought Iomega 1TB Prestige Desktop Hard Drive USB 2.0 which works without any issues at all with all loaders. Wouldn't recommend this Lacie drive at all for use with Wii. EDIT: Works Hermes; cIOS 222/223 and uLoader 3.1 or config.player 48, and as 1 parition 500Gb |

It only works when you unplug it, plug it back in before starting usb loader. have tried with all iOS's and Loaders, same results. other formattings of hard drive result in not working at all (NTFS & WBFS). better off with another drive that works 100%. By the way i have tried virtually every tutorial out there including the ones recommending using hermes and waninkokos iOS's but same results occured. | 1 | |

Only way I have managed to get this drive to work is using old r883.. Wont work with Uloader or CFG loader. Comment: No love either with FAT formatted drive and CFG Loader on Hermes cIOS 222 5.1, however FAT formatted drive and CFG Loader on Waninkoko cIOS 249 r20 does work. FAT formatted drive and WiiMC on IOS58 also works. No success with this drive, my first attempt at softmodding however another drive has worked confirming this one doesn't. Don't have any experience in trying other settings to see if there is a way to get it working. |

Every USB Loader tried works instantly. ~~ For me I have to turn the drive on after the wii is turned on before I can use USB loader GX but other than that it works perfectly (so far). 3 Games loaded in under an hour. You also have to make 2 partitions on the drive because the max size for wii is 500GB.
Also for me works perfect, I made a partition of about 100gb, have to power it up AFTER the wii goes on. Works like a charm! Vistitua Works perfectly for me aswell. Partition 500/500. Doesn't matter what's turned on first, works with all usbloaders I've tested. Enjoy!! SoulSnatcher - I purchased this HDD and it works perfectly with NeoGamma R9, uLoader and USB Loader GX. I didn't have the problem mentioned above about bootup of the HDD. Overall, great HDD. I recommend a purchase. Underblaze: I have the newer model of this Iomega 1TB Prestige Desktop Hard drive model "31871900" bought in amazon and it WORKS PERFECTLY with wiiflow, configurable usb loader, neogamma, usb LOADER GX and uloader, Cios rev20, didnt have the problem about bootup, fast HDD, Buy it Purchased this drive after reading compatibility here & am VERY happy. Inexpensive & Works great! Backed-up 5 discs into drive in approx 25mins. Partitioned 500gbWBFS/500gbNTFS. No turn on order, works either way with ALL loaders. Also works perfectly with Mplayer for movies (added to WBFS partition with Wii Backup Manager). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Have a 700Gb WBFS partition and a 230Gb NTFS and it was working fine on 4.3U Wii with Wiiflow and USB Loader |

Once formatted, WBFS Manager on Windows worked for copying games. Works with Configurable USB Loader as a single 1TB partition for installing games. It will turn off when the Wii is off as well, so no need to unplug the power supply. The drive goes into sleep mode after a short while of non-use, causing some emulators to lose save data or crash.

Works with full 1TB partition under USBLoader 1.5, Yaba's Loader.dol and under USBLoader GX(Both DOL and HBC).Have ripped about 12 games into it from a Waninoko 4.0 Updated wii Using Both Yaba's DOL and GX's DOL. WARNING --> These 2 disk are the same : WD 1To WDH1U10000 and WD 1 To WD10000H1U-00 (WDH1U10000 is the order's number and WD10000H1U-00 is the model's number) and it works well. | 41 | |

WD My Book Home Edition WDH1CS1000N | Works | Not Tested | Works | Has trouble booting up with USBloader GX, just make sure to turn on the external first, and wait 10-15 secs before turning on the Wii. Fails 1 out of 5 times. This is due to the multiple ports most likely. However, this drive does have a very fast transfer speed during PC transfers because of the other fast ports. It's worth the buy regardless, and it's very quiet and efficient. | 3 | |

Identical results to the Mac drive having the same hard drive model # (though this is a DIFFERENT drive, bought the same day as the mac one - this is the windows version and i threw out the box so now I'm stuck with it...) Not even PS3 and Xbox can read this so unless you only want to use it on the Wii and only for Games I'd avoid it. |

Western Digital My Book Essential 2TB External Hard Drive | 1058:1110 | Works | Not Tested | Works | Works like a charm! No issues whatsoever. However did have to format through WBFS Manager on the PC, as the Wii wouldn't recognize it. I was able to use the whole drive in one partition after that. Loads great afterwards. I am using USBLoader CFG v.40 iInstead of USBLoader. Also have cIOS Rev. 14 Installed. Update if you use Usb Loader Cfg v48 It will let you format to WBFS using the Wii, but you will need to create a couple partitions on the Hard Drive to deal with the 500 Game Limit. I used Partition Wizard Home Edition and made 3 Partitons two WBFS and one Fat32 for Emulator Games and Covers for Usb Loader, install Hermes IOS 222 and 223 so you can use multiple partitions with USB Loader CFG.
Separate confirmation: Worked in USBLoaderCFG v.50fat using wbfs_file v2.8 by oggzee after formatting 3 partitions as fat32 with fat32format , works beautifully I have an old style WD My Book Essential External 2TB Hard Drive MDL:WD20000H1U-00 all set as a fat32 partition (No 500 game limit this way, like wbfs and it can be read without any special software on any computer). Everything I have tried to use on the Wii with it works 100%. USB Loader GX and USBLoader CFG, every emulator that supports usb, triiforce, Mplayer, Wii Earth.... well actually anything that i have found that is supposed to work from a usb drive works on this drive! The new model that replaces this drive can be made to work with the Wii too, but it is not as good and takes some playing with. The easy way to tell the two apart is the old style just has 2 blue lights on front and the new ones have an actual fullness gauge. So if you can find the old style or atleast the old style case and buy a 2TB WD internal drive to put into it. I will tell you it will work with everything for the Wii 100%. The new style I can't guarantee because I dont know your skill level. But it can be done. Works . Have 3 Partions . 1. Fat 32 2. WBFS 3. Wbfs Using Usb Loader cfg 222 mload (latest) Works for everything except Triiforce usb . Occasionally not seen by homebrew but after mounting with Usb loader cfg no issues . Using Wii System 4.2 Purchased here Do not use the USB 3.0 version, this fails. It quickly becomes unstable, games freeze/crash, apps freeze/crash. I solved the problem by getting a supported drive, but I could not get the USB 3.0 version to work with Wii (this system seems to have the same internals as the USB 3.0 Seagate drive below based on labels and components). I have used the USB 3.0 version of this WD drive for about a year now, with no problems at all. No freezes etc, have used CFG, GX and Wiiflow, all good. Also works flawlessly with Nintendont!! |

Separate tester: I formatted this drive NTFS and copied games using windows explorer and USB Loader GX wouldnt recognize any games. I had no problems detecting the drive. This was with a Wii 4.3U. Not sure of the IOS. I then went back, deleted the games, used Wii Backup Manager and copied the games to the drive and switched to a Micro USB cable. After that I had no trouble with any game I wanted to play for as long as I wanted to play it. |

Initio Corporation 3.5" HDD External Case - SATA "PI-202US SATA/USB20 Drive" firmware 8.67 | 13FD 1640 | Not Tested | Not Tested | Issues | Tested with Samsung HD403LJ 400Gb 3.5" SATA 7200rpm, 16M, using USB loader GX Revision ?. (drive partitioned as 200Gb WBFS and 200GBFAT. only used the wbfs) ISSUES: if you exit the game and go back to usbloader GX, then it freezes while opening the second time with "waiting for USB device". So I'm now rebooting the device everytime i reboot the wii. Also, as expected, it's way slower then using a modern flash memory, but you will only notice that during the game loads. More serious, while playing DOD multiplayer for a long time, the screen would just turn black. you will not respaw, just be able to access the menus and change weapons. it happens randomly. never happened with a usb stick. | 1 |

Tested with Samsung 640gig 5400. Same drive works with butchered Western Digital usb to sata adapter, with no issues. USB 2 SATA chipset is JMicron JM20329, and by the looks of this wiki, JMicron chipsets just may not be compatible. UPDATE: It is a usb power issue, I used one of those dual usb cables to provide the unit with more power, and it worked! This is not sustainable for me, so I bought another enclosure, but now we know. |

Vantec Nexstar 3i NST-360S2i-WH | Not Tested | Not Tested | Doesn't Work | Tested with WD 1Tb Green Drive which works 100% fine in another Nexstar enclosure. This enclosure has built in Power Save functions that are not Wii compatible and can't be switched off. After 3 seconds drive goes into idle mode from which the Wii cannot wake. I tied contacting Vantec about hardware workaround (i.e jumper wire on relevant IC) because the power save function can be kept off with windows software/driver. There response was can't be done which is bulls&%t... no more Vantec for this puppy. I bought this enclosure because it is glossy white like the Wii console but it is in fact about as incompatible as you can get. | 0 | |

Wintec FileMate USB 3.5" 3FME3B2TW-R 3.5" SATA to USB 2.0 / eSATA External Enclosure | Not tested | Not tested | Doesn't Work | Tested with a Samsung EcoGreen F3 HD153W1 drive inside. Could mount WBFS on computer, could load games, and USB Loader GX and Wiiflow could see the game list on the Wii. Unfortunately it failed to load any game; load attempts sent you back to the main Wii menu. It's too bad, as this model looks just like the Wii: silver base, white case, blue lights. | 0 | |
