You have an SSD in a USB enclosure?
ReadySHARE is picky about the USB devices it accepts.
This list will give you some clues, although it is far from comprehensive:

Not sure that any SSD works. How is yours formatted? Any partitions?
it's an extenal 5 tb ssd drive that is connected via usb to the router. The partition is ntfs. It worked fine for a while then all of a sudden I have trouble seeing it. Works perfect if I connect it to any pc...

What have you changed in the meantime?

Unfortately, that guarantees nothing. PCs can use drivers that accommodate devices that will not work in a router.
the only thing that changed was the firmware of the router...I tried to revert back to the original one and that' didn't work either...
I was running KODI on the harddrive for over a year...the only thing I added to the harddrive were movies or TV shows. That version of KODI or unix hasn't changed.
