R7000 loosing usb connection to SSD and HDD sporadically
Hi When I'm sometimes copying or reading files from my SSD or HDD attached to either the usb 2.0 or 3.0 ports on the R7000, it looses connection which is very frustrating. I noticed the USB light also turns off, so I have to reboot the router and reconnect the drives, sometimes I have to connect the drives to my PC and do an error scan and repair to get the R7000 detecting them again. I've been browsing this forum for solutions, one thing came up which was the file system, I'm using NTFS on both my SSD and HDD so am wondering if I format both drives to ext3 or ext4 it will solve the connection problems? I'm really disappointing with Netgear that I'm having on the R7000 for what seemingly is a lack of R&D or QA when it comes to using various external drives and file systems!
