C7800 not recognizing SSD

Question

I bought a Sandisk sdssde60-1T00 1TB SSD external drive, My Macinstosh recognizes it just fine. I want to use Readyshare to share the SSD throughout my home users. When I plug in the SSD, the router does not see it. I reformatted the SSD to FAT and still, nothing.

Please help.

Thanks

I don't have that as an option (see screen shot)

Try exFAT

&gt; Try exFAT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The one popular file system which is _not_ in the list of supportedfile systems in the C7800 User Manual?&nbsp; Not what I'd expect to work.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and lookfor Documentation.&nbsp; Get the User Manual.&nbsp; Read.&nbsp; Look for "USB StorageDevice Requirements".&gt; I don't have that as an option (see screen shot)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right.&nbsp; macOS doesn't offer NTFS natively.&nbsp; Find a Windows system,and do it there?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't use (or trust) ReadySHARE, and I haven't done anything with areal SSD, so I know nothing, but I would not be amazed if an SSDidentified itself with a device-type code (or some other characteristic)which the (lame) Netgear firmware does not recognize as belonging to amass storage device.&nbsp; I'd try an ordinary (rotating) disk drive or asimple flash-EEPROM gizmo, with some supported file system, and see ifit can cope with one of those.&nbsp; If it works with non-SSD devices, andthe docs don't mention "SSD", then I'd take that as a hint.
