RBK50 USB drive not ready.

I have connected a 32gb usb drive to the socket on the back of the Orbi and enabled SMB 1.0. I can see the drive in the network after creating a new network device, but when I try to open the drive in File Explorer, it stares the device is not ready and suggests I do not have access permission. The drive is fine when plugged into the PC. What am I missing?

    Orbi doesn't support usb drives. V2 even removed the port.
