External USB Hard drives

[Draysoft]

Hi All, are USB connected hard drives 'hot pluggable' I can't see any reference to this in any documentation?

Thanks,

Draysoft.

You can hot insert them, but you need to eject them via software before removal.

Hi Draysoft,

Check this link as reference: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... /related/1 - refer to the 2nd image that shows "Generic Flash Disk" on the Overview page and notice the triangle looking icon...that is the icon you will need to click to safely remove the USB Hard drive.
