[QUOTE="rs1n, post: 9727372, member: 332500"] So I stumbled upon the following hidden Wii U menu option to turn off power-save mode on the external drive. In the copy/move/delete data settings, move the cursor down to the bottom of the screen. Then press down (on the d-pad) as well as start and select simultaneously and hold all three buttons. A power-save screen will then pop up, allowing one to enable/disable the USB power save feature. My question is, could this be the reason that a drive will seemingly work and then suddenly stop working when it does not have its own power supply? That is, the Wii U puts its USB port into power saving mode and the drive stops working properly. With an external drive that has its own power supply, this should not be a problem. What got me to wonder about this was my attempt to copy my 250GB external HDD (A/C powered) to a 256GB USB flash drive. Only a few minutes into the copy process, I saw the black screen that shows up when you "unplug" a USB device (namely, external storage). I will try the copy process again and report back any findings. In the meantime, if someone has already tested external drives with power-save turned off, I would definitely appreciate some info so I do not end up wasting more time doing something that has already been done.

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
