USB drives that work with RN104 & firmware 6.4.1 +

Anyone know which USB drives work properly with RN104 & firmware 6.4.1 and up. (Also if you know of one that doesn't work.) I need to replace my USB backup drive, a Seagate GoFlex with USB 3.0 which doesn't work since the 6.4.1 update.

    Which USB port is the GoFlex connected to?

    Which filesystem is on this USB disk?

     

    Which services and apps are you running?

     

    What problem are you having with the USB disk?

      Hi RonSchmiege,

       

      The RN100 series devices have one front port, USB version 2.0, and 2 rear ports, USB version 3.0.  It recognizes USB drives with FAT32, EXT3/4, NTFS and HFS format. 

       

      Hope this helps!

       

       

      Kind regards,

        btrfs was just added to 6.4.2 beta.

        BTW, all this should be in the software manual (and not just the data sheet).  It isn't.
