Please Note: This product requires a 2.5" HDD which can be purchased from our store click here

The Sundriver is the first modchip with full HDD support with a fully concealed install. It allows you to play backups off an internal SATA 2.5" hard drive. Since this is a hardware mod you do not need to worry about patches and bricking the Wii like you do with softmods. There is zero soldering involved and everything is plug and play. This chip is fully upgradeable. The entire chip and hard drive is installed inside the Wii. This is done by replacing the DVD drive compartment with the Sundriver + a HDD (HDD Sold Seperatley please click here).

Installation Instructions:

Review SunDriver :

Sun Driver (SATA version) arrives with very nice and simple retail packaging and a couple hdd's ready to be tested! :p

Installation is very simple (no harder than replacing the drive) :)

The fit for power, flat cable and sata data/power are all very solid (sata connections are especially tight which is nice because I've some cheap sata connectors on other devices where the cable can fall out if bumped)

2.5in hdd fit's nicely as expected. The tight power/data connection and 2 mounting screws are more than enough to keep the hdd in place and secure.

A good look over Sun Drivers PCB shows of the quality from manufacturing.. all connections, components, etc are clean and there is no slop left over or bad solder here!

NOTE: (Sun Driver may come shipped to you with switches all set to "ON" please REMEMBER switch them all away from led -> to take advantage of the GC SunDiskMenu01.ISO to switch games)

Some sexy photo's of Sun Driver's led showing status. Old face plate mod for SunDisk :p .. will probably do some nice mod for Sun Driver soon also ;)

Installing games and configuring Sun Driver is easy and fast.

Power on Wii with "Eject" button and 4 switches to the right and GC Menu app comes right up!

GC Menu is nice and simple select the game you want and Wii reboots with selected game loaded into disc channel :D

I found this product easy to use and with 3 way to change games it is very convenient way to store and play your games.

Upon first connecting the usb data cable to pc drivers were automatically found and installed, SunDriver_Programmer_V2.0.exe worked as expected and loaded games quick.

All tested drives worked except:

Western Digital model: WD2500JD-22HBB0 (250gb 3.5in hdd)
I was able to install game images and game cube icon even show for SunDiscMenu but trying to run it only ever rebooted the wii. I spent hours trying to make this drive work but with no success.

So over all quality, value, ease of use, and products design innovation for it to completely replace your dvd drive make it an obvious and wonderful option for those looking into drive mods.

Also I can't speak for everyone, but thinking over the years at how many optical drives have failed me compared to hard disc drives and HDD's always seem to last longer.

Final thoughts?... Having tried many of the current solutions on the market this one is by far my favorite so far.
