ReadyNAS 2120 not seeing 5 TB USB Drive

[TKovacs]

I'm having a problem where my ReadyNAS 2120 isn't recognizing my Seagate SRD0NF2 5 TB USB 3.0 Expansion Desktop Drive.

I've formatted the drive on my PC and can read/write to it without any issue. The drive has been formatted NTFS with various allocation sizes, none of which seem to do the trick to allow the NAS to see the drive.

The documentation for drive compatibility seems to be a bit lacking, but from what I've found if it's readable on a PC it SHOULD be readable by the ReadyNAS.

Any ideas folks? Thanks in advance!

What firmware are you running in the NAS?

There is a USB fix in 6.6.1 beta.

I'm using 6.6.0. What exactly are the details of the 6.6.1 USB fix, and how can I go about getting it?

Thanks!

This did the trick for me! The unit is now able to recognize the 5 TB drive. Thanks for your help!
