That's your problem m8 - don't use USB sticks, they are really unreliable. Don't use SD cards either, they only transfer photos and save screenshots and virtual console games iirc.
Both me and Nintendo recommend an external hard drive, THIS is the one I use, and it works really well, make sure you keep it somewhere it won't be disturbed, because if a game relying on it is on and it disconnects from the Wii U, you will have to turn the Wii U off, because the game will have an error and you will have to reconnect it. How do you connect it, you ask? THIS is the cable needed to connect the drive to the Wii U, as the one in the aforementioned drive Toshiba drive is incompatible with the Wii U.
Hope my rushed and unprofessional response helped you :)
HeyGuys,
me and a friend had a discussion if it's viable to install games on a USB Flash Drive example instead of a external HDD with an extra power supply.
Also: would "passive" external 2.5" example Hard Drive without extra power supply work?
