The Wii can read SD cards of any capacity (even those larger than 32GB), but the card must be formatted to FAT32 (**not** exFAT or NTFS). See [this guide](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Formatting_an_SD_card) on formatting instructions.

For USB devices, FAT32 is also recommended, although users should be aware of FAT32 limitations which only allow volumes up to 2TB in size and files up to 4GB in size. WBFS was a previously used file system for Wii game backups (not to be confused with WBFS files) - today, it is outdated and should not be used.

For SD cards, you will want a minimum of 128MB to run an exploit. On average, however, you will want a card that is sized 2GB or more. The Wii can read SD cards of any capacity (even those larger than 32GB), but the card must be formatted as FAT32 (**not** exFAT or NTFS). For instructions on properly formatting your SD card, [see here](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Formatting_an_SD_card).

For USB devices, you will want to use a USB hard drive or solid state drive formatted as FAT32. We do not recommend using flash drives as they are prone to failure or not working as intended with a Wii.

2.5 inch drives should work fine in most cases running off of USB power alone on a Wii, but 3.5 inch drives consume more power and will always need an external power adapter. For Wii U and Wii mini users, you will probably want to use an externally powered USB hub or a Y-cable for drives that operate off of USB power alone, due to power draw.
