I have one of these with an ssd in it, I plugged it into my Wii and it didn’t get detected, any way I can get it to work? (There’s nothing on the ssd, I formated it on windows and removed everything from it)
Do you have a usb c to a y splitter? Like this: [https://www.amazon.com/Cablecc-Type-C-USB-C-Power-Laptop/dp/B07VVX257H/](https://www.amazon.com/Cablecc-Type-C-USB-C-Power-Laptop/dp/B07VVX257H/) I have never tested a usb c drive with one of these cables, so I make no promises that it will work.
The WiiU doesn’t have USB 3.0 ports, so it doesn’t provide enough power over one cable.
Also, being stuck at USB 2.0 speeds means that a SSD is massive overkill. You won’t see much difference, if any at all, over a HDD.

Nope, you need a power supply.
