XR700 Readyshare is mounting the wrong drive image with 2 drives in use
So tonight I installed a new XR700. All working fine, except I use 2 drives via USB as a NAS. The drives work fine when they are plugged in separately, just using 2 drives at once is giving me is...
No when I attach both drives then both shares show the data of drive 1, even if drive 1 and 2 are named separately.
Ie it will detect drive 1 as drive 1 and drive 2 as drive 2 by name/volume name. But the data for drive 2 is actually coming off drive 1.
This is what happens after inserting both drives:
NAS 1NAS 2So it does recognize both drives. But look at 'Free Space' it mounts the image on drive 1 as drive 2. So when I go to the NAS from my PC it shows 2 shares that both have the same files, off drive 1.
Pics didn't work, 2nd attempt:
NAS 1NAS 2
Uploading doesn't seem to work.
But in short, it's not just a text error, I do get 2 shares which are both drive 1, and can't get into drive 2 from PC.
- If you attach them directly we'll be able to download them, otherwise we'll have to wait for the pictures to be moderated. Understood thanks for the clarification. What are the models of the drives - are they the same? Are they both formatted to the same type, NTFS, FAT etc? Were both drives completely empty of data or did one have files the other didn't? Just trying to get an idea of why the router might detect them as different but the same.
No they are the same size but different models.
1 is a Samsung QVO 860 SSD 1TB
2 is a Toshiba ex PS4 drive 1TB
They have exactly the same size though.
Both are formatted as NTFS and were previously plugged in on my XR500 in the exact same configuration, simply transferred over to the XR700. They were not empty.
