RN104 doesnt see WD Elements 3TB USB HDD on any USB ports
Hi, I have had up until yesterday two 64 GB USB sticks in the two rear ports of my RN104 for backup of files. I was using them both for back up of different stuff, but its just not enough room. So I have a WD Elements drive from around 2013, USB 2.0 3TB sitting in my desk, so I remove the USB sticks and plug this WD drive in and...... nothing. I see the activity light on the drive going just crazy so I gave it some time. Hours really, checked it this morning and nothing. Popped in the two USB sticks and they both show up in the GUI no problem. Remove them and try WD Elements again and nada. I check the HDD formatting on Windows 7 machine and its NTFS as it came from the factory. Reformatted anyway, still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas how to get this thing to recognize a 3TB USB HDD? Firmware note. I had this morning 6.5.1, updated to 6.5.2 this morning and no love, so I went backward to 6.5.0. Still nothing. Does any USB HDD work? Let me know and I'll go get one. Thanks for any help on this. KN.Solved4.4KViews0likes3Comments
