Is there a list of compatible USB drives for a ReadyNas Duo?
This forum seems to be a list of problems related to connecting USB drives to ReadyNas - is there a an official list of USB drives that ARE ok to work with a ReadyNas duo ? Thanks
NTFS. I don't remember what I originally used to format it, probably Windows XP, but maybe Vista or Seven. I've had it for some time, used for backups, and it's worked with all kinds of desktops and laptops, no issues until now.
EDIT (added June 23): I need to get something working for backup, so yesterday I bought another drive, a Western Digital, the newest USB 3.0, which will be here this week. Since there's no compatibility list I guess I'm just hoping it will work. Tell me, why does the Duo have a problem finding the Seagate? USB is just an interface, right, and isn't it a "standard"? I've never had a problem with any other USB device before, dozens and dozens of them, on any computer or anything else, so what's the difference with Netgear? How could it be different than every other USB device?
