For NV+ v2, which USB port do you connect? USB2.0 or USB3.0, pelease try to connect to USB2.0 which is the front USB port on NV+ v2, USB3.0 has compatibility problem, please see below link that is Official USB 3.0 Device HCL for NV+ V2 and Duo V2.

i've tried seagate baracuda 3tb drive in a sharkoon device and
i've tried wd mybook 3 tb , this is an external harddrive
both are formated as ntfs. (i can't switch them anymore for 2 tb drives)
Can divide the drives in 2tb partitions help?
The problem is my old pc has only usb 1.2, with xcopy, it's very, very, very slow
with my laptop i use robocopy (windows 7, 802.11n, usb 2.0) is also very slow.
