5.0 out of 5 starsWorks well with external drive on Wii U
By PsYfY on November 11, 2013
Size: 3 feet Verified Purchase
I used this to connect an old Western Digital Passport external hard drive to my Wii U and it worked perfectly!

5.0 out of 5 starsWorked for my Wii U
By Z. Richardson on September 19, 2013
Size: 1 feet Verified Purchase
If you're looking at an external hard drive for Wii U that doesn't have its own power supply. grab one of these. They're cheap and they make sure the hard drive gets enough power to operate. Works great on mine.

5.0 out of 5 starsSimple, everyday use after 4 months and still working well.
By BIS on July 28, 2011
Size: 3 feet Verified Purchase
I use this product in some pretty harsh environments (Nightclub DJ/Touring/etc) and the product is still holding up pretty well after being used on a daily basis for months.

Other cables have failed for me, this one has been good so far.

5.0 out of 5 starsExactly what it says on the tin.
By Firehawke on April 12, 2014
Size: 3 feet Verified Purchase
Did exactly what I needed: it allowed me to hook up a USB-powered hard drive to a Wii-U through the use of two USB ports. No problems at all.

Edit: As of August 2014, I'm still using this same cable with the same USB HD that I've been using since April 2014. No problems with the cable at all. Still no complaints!

4.0 out of 5 starsCable Worked
By tech guy on March 6, 2013
Size: 3 feet Verified Purchase
I have a WD passport drive and found that it only worked on 1 computer and even then only on 1 USB port. On other USB ports and on other computers, the drive would simply never show up as being connected to the computer. When I accidentally found this cable I decided to spend $6 to see if it would actually work...and low and behold it did work. Every computer I tried it on was able to see the drive and work with it. I am somewhat impressed and wished that I had found the cable a long time ago.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Great On My Wii U and My Old Western Digital 300GB External HD
By B. Denker on March 7, 2014
Size: 1 feet Verified Purchase
Was worried a bit if it would work on my Wii U. One of the USB connectors is red for power and the other black for data. Plugged it right in and it was working away like a charm. Love the extra storage, and that I didn't have to spend $90 or so for a 1TB external, as that's all I see available for purchase these days, as I could never use that much space on my Wii U.

5.0 out of 5 starsNeeded to make WD Harddrive work with WiiU
By tiredmommy on October 13, 2015
Size: 6 feet Verified Purchase
Product works perfectly!

When we upgraded to WiiU, we used our WD external harddrive to transfer all our data from our Wii to the WiiU. Since then, we have left the harddrive attached to the WiiU assuming that's where everything was being stored. Only recently did we get a notice that our WiiU was out of storage. It seems the WD harddrive could preform the transfer using a single USB Mini to USB but cannot work as storage for WiiU without additional power being drawn to the unit. Since this was not a powered harddrive, it looked like we'd need to buy a different one. Determined to use the one we had hanging around, I purchased this USB-Y in the hopes of drawing more power to the harddrive. Though the employee at Best Buy told me it wouldn't work (I went there to try and find a USB-Y locally to solve our problem immediately) it worked immediately. And for a fraction of the cost of a new powered harddrive.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Great as Intended
By Mike Perrotta on December 5, 2013
Size: 1 feet Verified Purchase
This product works great as intended. I had a system that didn't supply enough power to the USB ports to power one of my portable 2.5" external hard drives. Cable is self explanatory also, the red USB port is your auxiliary power and the black is your data connection.
