WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable External USB 3.0 ($55)
Don't drink coffee for three days and you can afford this. This is the same model above, but it's twice as big for $5 more. If this is your option, welcome to the struggle. The 1 TB models below give you more bang for your buck if you can spare at least $10 more. This is the model for you if you're truly poor. This is a portable hard drive, so no external power here.
Nintendo also states that hard drives over 2 TB won't work at all. This uses the two USB ports on the back of the Wii U to power the drive.
Nintendo recommends USB hard drives with their own external power supply, though some bus-powered hard drives still work if you purchase a USB Y-Cable. Here are a few options available to you when you cross this specific rubicon. I'm here to help you before you run into the same issue. Personally, I dislike the kludge of the external hard drive, but this is the fix I have in front of me. And adding an external hard drive to the Wii U or Xbox One requires formatting, meaning that drive can only be used on that console. While its competitors can hold 10 to 15 titles, the Wii U can only stomach 3 or 4 before needing external storage or creative management. This isn't a problem endemic to the Wii U alone, it's just the console with the smallest amount of available storage space in this generation. Shock! And checking online showed me that a number of other reviewers had completely forgotten about the Wii U's small hard drive as well. The game itself came in two parts, so I downloaded part one, but the second part was just too big.

I put in the code and set the game to download. I assumed I had enough space to download this new game. The only big game I've previously downloaded on the Wii U is Mario Kart 8, which comes in at 4.3 GB. It was a size limit that I had completely forgotten until I tried to download a review title a couple of days ago. The Wii U is also a current generation console, but even the beefier Deluxe Set only has 32 GB of internal storage. Mario Kart 8, you beautiful 5 GB bastard. Unfortunately, I can't replace the internal Xbox One hard drive, so if storage issues pop up, I need to either delete a few titles or buy an external hard drive. My Xbox One is in better shape with 234 GB free on its hard drive.
#WII U FORMAT MY PASSPORT ULTRA PS4#
This is something I foresaw coming, so I switched out my original PS4 hard drive with a 1 TB replacement.
On my PlayStation 4, 329 GB is taken up by application data, with most games hovering around the 10-20 GB range. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both come with 500 GB hard drives as a standard feature, since digital games on those platforms can be up to 50 GB in size. On PC, this is a sliding issue: my current build has a total of 3 TB and if I have any issues, I just swap in another drive. Most current generation platforms have acknowledged that digital downloads are growing part of gaming. Being able to purchase, download, and play a game without ever leaving your home is pretty cool. There are still bandwidth and data cap issues with most users have to deal with, but I'm finding many of the non-reviewer people I know are also switching over to digital. I generally buy all of my console games in physical form, but I've become increasingly used to the idea of digital content the longer I'm in this position. One side-effect of being a reviewer is the increased number of digital games that find their way into my inbox.
