Q: Will this work with Wii U?

A: Any hard drive that can be plugged into the wall over 2TB can be used by the Wii U, but it cannot access the extra data on the hard drive over 2TB, so for this hard drive, it cannot access the 1TB extra data on this hard drive.

Q: What cable is needed to connect this hard drive to a Dish Hopper that has a 2.0 usb connection?

A: Same issue here. You can get a cable with 2.0 on one end and 3.0 on the other. Works fine.
