    Big time noob question-----Question on the 2gb,4gb,8gb,16gb, When you backup games via the wii usb slot, do you guys store your games on your PC and load them on the pen drive to play. I would think your space would run out pretty quick on those smaller drives. Thanks!

    I have my games on a 500gb 2.5" SATA drive with a SATA-USB cable. Plenty of room and my kids no longer ruin disks on a regular basis... ;-)

    I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

    johnfarm did answer your question. The answer was no, he does not load them on and off the external because his external drive is large enough to hold hundreds of games.

    I have a 60 gig hard drive that I dug out of an old laptop that still holds all my games, so I don't have to move games on and off either.

    Of course if you're using a small USB drive you will run out of space fairly quickly and your easiest solution would be to use your PC to load them on and off the drive. I don't know what answer you expected.
