MT-300A max usb devices?

Hi, i own 2 of MT300A devices. I just wanted to setup one as NAS.

Configuration is: MT300a (FW 2.264 or 3 beta) with connected 4 BAY USB housing (FANTEC)

In Windows Explorer only 2 disks are visible of 4 installed. Their Filesystem is NTFS or exFat (both addons installed and both filesystems are visible in Explorer but only 2 of 4 disks.

Can someone help?

what is the size of the 4 disks?

Is all exFat system not supported?

Tank you for answering!

Disk 1 is 5TB exfat - detected
Disk 2 is 4TB exfat - Not detected
Disk 3 is 2TB Ntfs - Not detected
Disk 4 is 1TB Ntfs - detected

what is the volume label?

It should not have special characters inside.

1TB, 4TB and so on. No spaces. In windows Explorer they are named (the visibles) 1TB and Basic Data Partition for the 5TB exfat Disk.

Can you ssh to the router and check?

To list all the devices

Your disk registered 4 devices
sda1 sda2 sdb1 sdc1

Seems not all of them are mounted.
Can you check again using the following command

mount

Maybe you need to try mount manually.

partly solved:
Checked the drives with mini tool partition wizard. 2 of 4 are GPT set. - one of those (5TB) is found by MT300A but has no content in explorer.
The other 2 drived are MBR now (1 and 2 TB) I converted the 2TB to MBR.
The 4th drive is 4TB GPT exFAT - still not mounted. Was unable to change to MBR because of size.
Issue while trying to mount: The device ‘/dev/sda2’ doesn’t seem to have a valid NTFS.

So far, many thanks to you alzhao! Its nice to see a manufacturer that delivers that support today - again: Thumbs up!

Thanks for let me know.

Only 1tb and 2tb NTFS drives with MBR are accepted reliable on MT300A :expressionless: i’m Bit sad About this…
