R7000 Not reading external hard drive full space.
I have an external hard drive that is a 2T. It is installed into a box that has external power and a usb cable. When you plug the usb cable into any computer, it reads that there is space of 1.8 T....

So I thought about that, but I plugged this hard into the computer, and it reads only the one partition, and it reads that there is 1.8T total. When plugbed back directly into the router, it reads 922G again.

That doesn't tell you about the partitioning. You need to check that in something like Windows disk manager.
- ericdmurphyMar 10, 2021AspirantThis is plugged into the computer, reads fine.
- ericdmurphyMar 10, 2021AspirantLooking from in settings.
- ericdmurphyMar 10, 2021AspirantThis is from the folder where the drive is shortcut to. Hopefully something else there will give someone an idea.

Try using Alt+Print Screen. Using a camera for screens is 20th century.
