ReadyNas 314 not working with Seagate Expansion 5tb usb
I have a 314 with a 4tb seagate external usb 3 drive plugged in which is working good, but I just plugged in on the other usb 3 a 5th external seagate drive and it shows under system the usb icon with...
Yes both are ntfs single partition
Yes there are 2 USB 3 ports at the back one for each
I have rebooted NAS multiple times
Yep they each have they're own power supplies plugged in individually.
The one that works which is the 4tb model is a seagate backup plus, the one that does not work which is a 5tb model is a seagate expansion drive. The difference from what I have seen is the chassis one being metal the other plastic, the warranty one is 3 the other is 2 years, but internally they are both standard 3.5 drives of course I'm sure with different firmware. I did test the 5tb drive also plugged into a system and it works fine.
