I don't mind the note about documents and stuff being erased, but to be fair, this is the guide for dumping Wii U games, so pointing out that you can't use Wii and GameCube games isn't necessary. Plus, VC injections exist, which makes that possible.

On a side note, I discovered that the Wii U “quick formats” a USB stick, meaning that all data is unreadable without special tools like photorec but still recoverable.
