When considering buying or using an SD card or USB device, it is worth considering the things that you will be using either storage medium for. Different uses can take up varying amounts of space, some common examples of which are shown below:
+ Wii Backups: The largest Wii games (dual-layer DVD) are up to sizes of 9GB, more normal games are closer to sizes of 4GB or lower. The average user for a Wii backup device would probably want 128GB or more of space.
+ Wii Backups: The largest Wii games (dual-layer DVD) are up to sizes of 8.5GB, more normal games are closer to sizes of 4.7GB or lower. The average user for a Wii backup device would probably want 128GB or more of space.
+ GameCube Backups: The largest GameCube games reach sizes of up to 1.3GB. ISO sizes are normally this size regardless of the game, but can be considerably lower if NKIT is used as a format instead. The average user for a GameCube backup device would probably want 64GB or more of space.
+ General Emulation: There are a wide variety of emulators available on the Wii. Because the size of different game ROMs differ dramatically, the average user for an emulation drive would probably want 32GB or more of space.
+ General Emulation: There are a wide variety of emulators available on the Wii. Because the size of different game ROMs differ dramatically, the average user wanting to emulate games would probably want 32GB or more of space.
+ General Homebrew: For homebrew, the average user would want 2GB or more of space.
+ NAND Backups: For backing up your NAND with BootMii, the average user would need a minimum of 512MB of free space, but sizes of 1GB or more are recommended.
+ Bare minimum, exploit only: The minimum amount of space to run an SD-card compatible exploit on a Wii is 128MB.
