-When buying USB hard drives, there are only three existing present-day HDD manufacturers: Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba. Any and all other hard drive companies are defunct and have either went bankrupt, or were absorbed by the three aformentioned companies. With that said, if you have an extra hard drive lying around made by another company, it should still work! Hard drive technology has remained largely the same within the past 10 or so years. Just make sure to check the S.M.A.R.T data to ensure that the drive isn't failing before you throw all of your data on there.

Just make sure to check the S.M.A.R.T data to ensure that the drive isn't failing before you throw all of your data on there.
 
 For hard drive sizing, 2.5 inch drives should work fine in most cases running off of USB power alone on a Wii, but 3.5 inch consumes more power and will always need an external power adapter. Make sure to plan for this when determining what you want to do with an external drive.
