In order to rip a Wii disc, a storage device with more than 4.7 GiB of free space is recommended for single layer, 8.54 GiB for dual layer. However, by dividing the disc into chunks, an SD card with even a single gibibyte of free space is sufficient.
In order to rip a Wii disc, a storage device with more than 4.38 GiB of free space is recommended for single layer, 7.93 GiB for dual layer. However, by dividing the disc into chunks, an SD card with even a single gibibyte of free space is sufficient.


At the CleanRip Setup screen, set '''Chunk Size''' to '''"Max"''', and '''New device per chunk''' to '''"No"''' is recommended with SD cards or external USB storage devices large enough to hold the entirety of the ripped disc file at once. Otherwise, set '''Chunk Size''' to max possible ('''"1GB"''', '''"2GB"''', '''"3GB"''', or '''"Max"''') and set '''New device per chunk''' to '''"Yes"''' and when CleanRip is asking for the next device, remove it from the Wii and move the first or so ISO file to free up space and use it again. When all pieces have been received, check in the next subsection.

*CleanRip will split the ripped disc file with more than 4 GiB in file size regardless to fit the ''FAT'', ''FAT16'', or ''FAT32'' file systems. These file systems have a max file size of 4 GiB. To remedy this, it is recommended to rip discs to a USB external ''NTFS'' formatted storage device (as Wii cannot read NTFS formatted SD cards). The ''NTFS'' file system has a ''theoretical'' max file size of 16 EiB (Exabyte), or 16,777,216GiB.

*Certain Wii discs are [[Dual Layer Disc|dual layer (or DVD9) instead of single layer (or DVD5)]]. CleanRip will need to be configured in order to rip those kinds of discs. At the Wii Disc Ripper Setup screen, set '''Dual Layer''' to '''Yes'''. The rip will take roughly double the time than usual Wii discs of 4.38 GiB as the dual layer ISOs are 7.93 GiB in size.
