Hard drive Allocation unit size
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I reformatted my hard drive with a allocation unit size of 2048KB since i'm using it to store large video files. The USB port on the router no longer recognizes the drive. The hard drive works fine connected directly to my computer. Is there a limit to how large the allocation unit size when using it with the routers USB port?

Hello @uVSthem, can I know if the issue gets resolved? If it's not, I would like to know the brand and capacity of the hard drive as well as its format, then we will test and see if there is an issue.

This was never resolved. The hard drive is a Western Digital 5TB My Passport. It is formatted NTFS.
