RAX40 USB Support
Hi all, My router is a Nighthawk RAX40 Hardware-version R1.05 Firmware-version V1.0.2.60_1.0.1 I'm looking for info on approved/compatible USB devices to use for Readyshare. The list a...
Thanks ;)
Not a pre-purchase question, I already own the thing and it serves me well.
Now the desire to use Readyshare came up, and when testing whatever lays around I found that an SSD drive was recognized as 931 mb despite in reality being 931gb and out of 8 sticks (don't remember where I got them and the majority nameless), it recognized a Western Digital 4gb (now aka San Disk) and a Kingston G4 Traveller 16gb. Of course these are too small :( and I suspect going for a newer of same brand wouldn't ensure that it works (because everything in this industry changes so frequently).
Might just go for a San Disk 3.1 of whatever the budget streches to in capacity. Not too fond of having external box due to location and space.

I'd lay money on it being partitioned.
These things often turn up with a partition reserved for drivers, manuals and stuff. If you can, try a complete format of the drive. If you are on Windows, use disk manager to look for partitions.
Already formatted it before connecting, not even as Quick format but completely to NTFS.
Checked for partitions?
Spi_Dybot, one option to consider is the Samsung FIT Plus flash drive, which works well as a ReadyDRIVE device on my RAX120. The drive is very compact, reasonably fast, and does not become excessively warm when in use.
