Hardware my wii u does not recognize hard drive

[Centel]

hello I wanted to ask for help because a few weeks ago I bought a basic seagate hard drive and connected it to the wii u with a cable and 3.0, the principle worked and I was able to install games on it, but about 2 weeks later it no longer recognizes it, I formatted it in fat32 but it does not recognize it either, on my pc it recognizes it perfectly if someone knows what it is, can you please tell me? PS: I am using google to translate this

Sound like you need a y cable along with a enclosure that have the correct connector.

Something like this if you have a seagate drive with an enclosure

I have that cable but it still does not work even when I connect it with the 2 outputs

 

[Hayato213]

it should work if you are using a y cable, try a different enclosure/y cable I guess.

but on my pc it works fine it's the wii u that doesn't recognize it so the hard drive works, it's the wii u that must have something and I don't have another case or cable

a picture of your drive enclosure and your y cable would help.

Could be your usb ports on the console, do you have another hdd or even a usb stick to test them?

 

[godreborn]

try another usb port. the wiiu has four of them.

Try other port as other have suggested.

I tried with 2 usb stick in all ports and they worked but I have no more hdd

Then it is your setup, either the enclosure or the y cable you got.

See if it's Ustealth d.

 

[Centel]

See if it's Ustealth d.

what is that?

 

[godreborn]

Check the drive on your pc with Ustealth. See if it says normal.

Might also be brownout isses so try to connect the power-only end of the Y-Cable to a powerfull wall charger (one you would use to power an RPI).
