    Hi aalexandrebeta,

     

    Unfortunately there is no official release of compatible USB drives for the the ReadyNAS. Such a list would be difficult to administer, and keep updated.

     

    This was stated on ReadyNAS OS 6: USB Port use.

     

     

    Regards,

    • Brwosing topics on this community makes me think that there is a lack of precise and clear recommendations on that matter.

       

      Often WD and SG casing use a proprietary program and their own way to configure witch disturb NG a bit. On the contrary generic equipment do not have those issues. When people have 2, 3 partitions on their drives it messes it a bit!

       

      I am a bit a pain in the botom but having to deal with parents and relatives a bit grumpy they need a procedure!

       

      So clear steps and precise instruction would avoid some mess!!

       

      Regards!

        Hi aalexandrebeta,

         

        You have some good points there, if you have not done so; it might be best if you can also post this on our Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS.
