No one can answered that at the moment, except for nintendo engineers.
Apparently the Wii U disc drive has a transfer speed of 22.5 MB/s, so I reckon if your HDD using usb2.0 can provide this kind of speed it should be fine. However i would advise people to wait for more information, before buying a drive specifically for the Wii U.
IIRC the Wii U, like the 3DS, will be able to run of eshop games from the SD slot as well.
