Routers with built in USB storage support question

[genetech]

Hi! i have a linksys 3200 router and i am wondering what all External USB HDD work with it. I have a WD 1 TB but it doesn't seem to work with it. I know that with the latest Firmware the router supports drives upto 3 TB so i know my capacity is not the issue but rather it seems that the drive itself just isn't recognized at all.

Anyone know of any drives they know work with this model?

If you are running stock firmware on the 3200 check out this guide - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/GetAr...0c3cf270c1d6a31_21517.xml&pid=113&converted=0

Also is your external drive USB powered or external powered? I know that some of the newer e series linksys routers don't supply enough power to the USB port for the 2.5 inch drives (at least none that I have seen yet... check online thought for additional confirmation)

Also here is a list of compatible HDD's for the 4200 (which is based on your model) - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=113&vw=1&articleid=22738

I have a WD 2TB Element attached to my E3000 and had zero issues with it. I had to let the router format it before it was visible but after that it's been no issue. Only problem I've got with it is that the transfer rate is pretty sad. At best I get maybe 4-5 MB/s and average around 2-3 MB/sec. Not exactly what I want when I transfer multiple GB's of files or try to do backups to it.
