Official HCL for external USB?
Hi, the link for the official HCL for external drives simply points back to the community page. Is this a dodgy link or is the community HCL recognised as official? Confused.... and wanting to...
Why the hell doesn't it, though? When I bought my Duo v2, I naively assumed that I'd be able to plug in my existing 500Gb Iomega USB hard drive - after all, why wouldn't I? It works perfectly well with any PC I've ever connected it to - and was surprised and annoyed to find that it didn't work. It was only after a bit of digging that I found out about this whole issue.

Maybe it's just me, but given what I'd consider to be a fairly major problem I'd have thought Netgear would have fallen over themselves to provide a decent list of known working USB drives.
I'm still in the position of having to buy another USB drive myself, but after all I've read here I'm still totally unclear about which model I can safely buy and am nervous about doing so. Bizarre.
