Hello There, 

Im having a issue with my Archer C8.

I have 2 Harddisks connected at the USB port. But, very often they keep changing name of the disks, some times it calls: sda1 and sdb1, then suddently change to sdc1 abd sdd1.

Do you guys have any ideia what causes that, and possible solution?

thank you!

Did anyone get a resolution to this issue? I'm having the same trouble with my VR_2800 with two HDDS attached via USB

It will keep the assigned names (sda1 and sdb1) for a while, but then for no apparent reason, usually following a re-boot of the PC (not the router) it swaps them over, sda1 becomes sdb1 and vice versa. As the first HDD (usually sda1) has all my startup profiles on it and is set up as the default location for all documents, it means the PC just won't work until I power down, swab the USBs over and re-boot. It then of course assigns a raft of new system folders to the second drive thinking they are no longer there. It's a massive pain in the arse and I can't figure out why.
