C7800 not recognizing SSD
I bought a Sandisk sdssde60-1T00 1TB SSD external drive, My Macinstosh recognizes it just fine. I want to use Readyshare to share the SSD throughout my home users. When I plug in the SSD, the router does not see it. I reformatted the SSD to FAT and still, nothing.
Please help.
Thanks

Re: C7800 not recognizing SSD
> Try exFAT
The one popular file system which is _not_ in the list of supported
file systems in the C7800 User Manual? Not what I'd expect to work.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "USB Storage
Device Requirements".

Right. macOS doesn't offer NTFS natively. Find a Windows system,
and do it there?
I don't use (or trust) ReadySHARE, and I haven't done anything with a
real SSD, so I know nothing, but I would not be amazed if an SSD
identified itself with a device-type code (or some other characteristic)
which the (lame) Netgear firmware does not recognize as belonging to a
mass storage device. I'd try an ordinary (rotating) disk drive or a
simple flash-EEPROM gizmo, with some supported file system, and see if
it can cope with one of those. If it works with non-SSD devices, and
the docs don't mention "SSD", then I'd take that as a hint.
