LinkStation 421e does not recognise USB3.0 Drives

[wafer]

From this thread, it looks like luger has success with Thermaltake ST0020U enclosure (non-Baffalo) USB drive. Anyone else?

Buffalo have to fix this problem as soon as because I can't connect

All,

I first encountered the problem in August 2013 with firmware version 1.11.

Has Buffalo been listening? I don't know, but I just see latest firmware 1.81 has been released 2 days ago (29 June 2015). Here is what is written in the [Version History]...

[Version History]
Version 1.81
Added and Modified Features
- Improved recognition accuracy when connecting USB drives.
Bug Fixes
- Modified to deal with Samba programming vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-0178 and
CVE-2015-0240)
- Fixed a bug where a backup job could not be added if the backup target folder
contains full-width spaces in its name.
- Fixed a bug where a shared folder, user, or group could not be created if its
name contains specific symbols.
- Fixed a bug where an invalid default gateway is configured when changing the
IP address on NAS Navigator2.

Does Buffalo finally fix the USB drive recognition problem...!? I don't know yet. Let me download the firmware & try it out. Stay tuned!

I can say that it worked with the two non-Buffalo USB drives (both USB 2.0) we have in our lab.

If only you knew.

All,

Buffalo is slow, but at least they are listening!

My USB drive struggle has been fixed. Thank you!

I was happy too early! V1.81 does improve usb drive recognition. However, the bug on system freeze after 1 or 2 days is still around since v1.80.

For now, I've rolled back to V1.34. The system has been running for 3 days without hang.

Buffalo forks, please take this feedback & quickly release a new firmware to fix the bug.
