USB 3.0 Copy to NAS

If I connect a external disk to one of the USB 3.0 slots on the background of the NAS, the light of the disk begins to flash but I cannot find the disk in Explorer. What can I do to connect a disk to the USB 3.0 slot and copy data from there to the NAS? Thank you in advance ...

    Hi Chris1968

     

    You can first insert the USB disk on the computer, check whether the computer can identify it

     

    Thanks!

        When you connect it to the NAS are you seeing it show up on the web ui volume page?
