RAXE500 - Readyshare - Problems with larger HDD
Looking for advice on getting large HDDs to work with readyshare I have tried the following on my RAXE500 256Gb Samsung SSD in a UGREEN M.2 SATA SSD Enclosure USB 3.0 - Works; no apparent iss...
Posting this in case it helps someone else.
Changed from the ICY BOX enclosures to a UGREEN 3.5 USB 3.0 enclosure ACBUGN50424.
Moved over the drives, changed nothing else and WD RED 8Tb drive now running stable for several days with relatively heavy access.
So in summary an enclosure which worked perfectly on a PC was not stable on the RAXE500 with readyshare. Changed to a more modern enclosure with same drive, no other changes solved that issue.
Try a different enclosure.
Be sure that the enclosures use there own power supply.
Does a 1 or 2Tb drive size work?
Thank you.
The enclosures / drives ae 3.5 inch form factor and so yes they do have their own Power supplies.
The SSD case does not and works perfectly so I am not seeing power supply as an issue currently.
I have never seen any published limitations for readyshare and certainly non - specific to the RAXE500 but there are 4Tb and 8Tb drives on the known to be compatible lists for readyshare on other netgear routers.
