Hello,
I used a trekstor usb hdd with 500 gb on my LinkStation Pro LS-GLD5E. until it broke down. Thus I changed to a 1,5 tb hard disk by Freecom but my LinkStation just do not detect it! I already formated it to NTFS without success. Do you have a solution?
#1. This is not supported.
#2. You need to get the firmware back onto the unit (this is the only info that I will give):

#3. The drive should not be formatted to NTFS. This unit uses XFS filesystem.
