Yes. But you need an adapter cord to have the WiiU power the hard drive. dual A to Micro-B USB 3.0 Y Cable, Black It splits it into two USB plugs that will plug into the WIiU which has 4 USB ports. So it would take 2 of the 4 spots.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven't tried it, but the manual for the Wii U says that an external drive needs to have its own power supply. Since this drive is not externally powered, I would not suggest this drive for that purpose.

To ensure maximum performance between your Wii U and an external storage device, Nintendo recommends using a hard-disc drive (HDD) with a dedicated power source (i.e., using an A/C adapter). The Toshiba Canvio Desk hard drives such as this model would be a good option: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/toshiba-canvio-3tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/6914041.p?id=1218813788932&skuId=6914041
