no USB-drive found on rear USB 3 ports #26234839
Hi there.
Xmas is over and i´m about to tinker on my new RN102.
The front USB (USB2) was detected w/o problems - any stick/drive, any format -> R/W-time (as aspected) is very slow.
BUT: on the rear ports (USB3) none of my devices gets detected... my 1TB Samsung USB3-Drive start spinning but in ~10min. it seems to power down., the other sticks even wont flash the power led ...
Connected to the sheel i wont even see any mountable device / media - only when using the rear USB3-ports
Is this a case for the support? Do i have to "enable" the Ports on "somemagicplace"?
Hardwaredetails:
RN102 w. FW 6.4.1
2x 2TB WD red
best regards and thx to all, who can possible help me

Once connected, the USB disks should appear in the admin web UI under System -> Overview.
If that isn't happening, you could use your 90 support option (support.netgear.com).
- manuel77AspirantSupport case opened - maybe DOA-Replacement.

Hi manuel77,
If it has been fully isolated and support issued an RMA, kindly update this thread or provide a feedback.
Kind regards,
