Well for the most part. USB on a router a with a USB Drive attached will not have the greatest performance. I don't believe that or may have been tuned well. This router is several years old now and I presume that maybe the USB drivers with in the FW may not have been well kept up to date. Along with newer rev's of USB 3x now and with all the in betweens. Anything is possible.And possible that there could be some driver size limitations as well.
Check formatting on the drive too. I believe exFAT or was an option for NG routers.
And as a suggestion to future proof your self, you might want to consider NAS. I did the years ago. Never looked back to USB storage.
Does the USB drive have it own power adapter by chance? If not then ya, won't be supported well on the USB port I believe.
- Yes… But it only accepts .740 A.
