Jul 02, 2012Is there a list of compatible USB drives for a ReadyNas Duo?

The new WD drive works as it should.
Still no explanation why the Seagate doesn't? It would be nice to answer that question so this thread isn't left dangling, and the next poor soul with a Seagate drive who has read that it will work... but doesn't, can find an answer. As you said "Well you're replying to threads that are dead which means one can assume that the issue described in the thread is resolved one way or another." I think that's a pretty charitable assumption, and since this Seagate drive doesn't work we don't want to let this thread die and imply that a resolution was found, so any suggestions? The Seagate drive has worked every other place I've tried it, never a hiccup, so I know it's good. The Duo works with the WD drive, so I know the Duo is good. But the Seagate "Expansion Portable" drive won't work with the Duo. Newest Radiator, different cables, I've tried all the suggestions offered and know it's getting full power, so any other ideas?
