I have same problem since I updated firmware to 6.4.0

Most of the time I using USB Toshiba 1TB (NTFS) works OK just before update.

After update, when I connect HDD message pops "External storage device connected" but is dificult to work wit it.

-backup task doesnt work

-I cant format hdd as before...

then I connect 64GB USB stick, that works fine as at firmvare 6.2.4

I'll tryed another one USB 4TB toshiba and same message as KillerBob apper "System: External storage device is connected but the file system is not recognized."

All drives still works fine with PC.

I tryed to downgrade firmware to 6.2.4 but that doesnt work too.

Its realy disapointing me, all external backups are outdated now. I just hope that nothing happend before fix firmware be released.

OK, this is looking like a bug. A bug of course on an unsupported installation (FW 6.4.0 on legacy ReadyNAS). So what do we do? Wait for a fix, which may or may not be coming, or find a way to get back to FW 6.2.4???

  Really, noone can say if it's just the two of us, or a general issue? It's quite an issue, and as this is unsupported we can only depend on this forum to come up with some suggestions...
