- Does the router identify the HD in ReadyShare at all? If it doesn't then it may not be compatible, if it does then this may be a plex issue. What firmware version are you on?

My firmware version of the router is V1.0.1.20
And i am using a Seagate 2 TB Backup Plus Slim
I believe this is a supported device.
ReadyShare was not recognizing it either. I tried a Sandisk USB and that was recognized.
Then I tried my 8TB Seagate BackUp Plus Hub and that was recognized as well.
That was the issue, somehow the typical Seagate 2TB is not supported?
I guess I will use my 8TB for the Plex Server.
Thanks for the help!
- Seems that way, I'm not sure why some are supported and others aren't but glad you're able to use Plex now.
