USB Stick and Dolphin

[DefenderX]

LOL now I need help

Okay folks, I would like to buy a 64GB USB Stick (USB 2.0) for my Wii games (yay, Dolphin supports *.wbfs ^^) and now comes my question:

Could I play my games without problems? USB Sticks have a pretty low transfer rate and i think, I'll experience stuttering etc. (And no, I don't want an external HDD )
Thanks in advance for answers

Anyone an idea?

USB thumb drive lifespan is short , loss data randomly , very low tranfer rate ...
I have 5 USB sticks : 1GB , 2GB , 4GB , 8Gb , 16GB . I used them to store game , software...etc
All of them suck ! Ex HDD all the way

Recommend : 25MB/sec read (in real time) . Lower than that may cause stuttering

Well, okay. Thanks for the answer. Hope, I'll find a cheap HDD

I got my 1TB for 90EUR
If a 500GB is enough you can get it for 60EUR
(2TB is around 130EUR)

500GB are more than enough, I'm satisfied with 250GB

[LordVador]

Well I guess 40EUR for a 250GB should be a correct price. But 250GB are getting scarce. Much more common here to find 500/1000. And some storage capacity is always useful btw

[admin89]

500GB -> Max storage (logical) : 465GB NTFS
Leave 10% free space -> 465 - 46.5 = 418.5GB (real time usage)

Agree . I never buy 250GB HDD
There will be a time when 1000GB is not enough for you @DefenderX

Yeah, i had a 250 then a 500 and now they're all full and i need a 1000

Got it. I bought a 2.5" 500GB HDD (USB 3.0). That should be enough (For 60€)
