Do you feel the new update has finally solved the storage issue?

Personally I thinks the best update yet.



For now, this update is great for all, who have storage problems.





But Nintendo implemented it in a not very forward looking way.





With this update, programs loaded from the SD card are first copied into the NAND memory of the Wii and then executed. After this, the copy is then deleted again.





The problem with this is: Flash based memory (like the NAND memory of the Wii) is %26quot;degrading%26quot; with each read/write process.





Of course, each flash storage media (like SD cards, Solid State Discs and the Wii%26#039;s NAND) have a mechanism, that tries to distribute write-operations to different memory areas.





But sooner or later, the Flash memory will fail.





So I see this update as a quick and dirty fix instead of a true solution of storage space.




It has certainly helped, yes. The use of the 32GB SD Cards will be excellent. However, I don%26#039;t think it has actually %26#039;solved%26#039; the problem as there will always be more problems in the future.





For the time being it has solved 90% of the storage problems.




i don%26#039;t get it, if Nintendo finally release an update that suppose to fix the storage issue, why didn%26#039;t they made it to fix the storage issue 100%?


that%26#039;s pissing me off...




no... now dont have a go at me i think it hasnt helped because as long as something exsits it has a problem. The nintendo wii being a perfect example: Cant even watch youtube vids anymore? still i guess it helps others




Its definitely a big help indeed.
