Largest USB stick
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2015 8:58 am
Hi guys,
So the other day I plugged in a 32GB USB stick which gargoyle had no trouble mounting. Yesterday I plugged in a 128GB stick and it was as if it was not even there. I rebooted, hard cycled my WD N750 to make sure it was not a glitch.
So I know the 128 GB stick works fine in my computer. My question then is what is the largest size supported by my router/firmware. I know this router designed for plugging in large powered usb external drives. I'm thinking beyond a certain GB size, it needs power.
Am I on the right track? I don't really want to use powered USB drive, but want to know how much large I can go and don't want to spend money on a 256 USB stick if that's the issue. Else, I will continue to research why the 128 GB USB stick did not mount.
Thanks in advance.
