Rumor: Wii To Include Double USB Hard Drive

Word on the street has it that Nintendo’s super popular Wii console will be receiving a long awaited storage bump through the form of an external hard drive. Unfortunately for us, we’re not looking at even 120GB, but the drives on offer will be of measly 32GB and 64GB capacities only. These will hook up to the Wii through its rear USB ports in order to blend in and look like part of the Wii ecosystem. Of course, you can’t just plug-and-play these drives while hoping they’d work straight away – there is a firmware update required beforehand. While 64GB sounds small, we’ll take anything that is larger than the current 512MB of built-in storage and 2GB maximum capacity from its SD memory card slot.
