Trouble configuring hard drive for ReadyShare
I recently bought a WD 4TB Black My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBBKD0040BBK-NESN to setup with the R7800's ReadyShare. I see the hard drive when I log in to routerlogin....
I returned the WD hard drive yesterday. I think anybody reading this thread and considering hard drives to buy would be wise to use the"ReadySHARE USB Drives Compatibility List".
Hi dpo91,
Where do you want to add the drive? Is it on the UI or on your computer?

I wanted to connect it to the router (R7800) but it doesn't look like the router can identify it.
Hi dpo91,
You mentioned that when logging in to the Readyshare, you were able to see the drive. Am I correct or not?

Yes, that is correct. I attached an image of the screen I got to. I saw the hard drive but wasn't able to add it.
