![]() ![]() The main difference is that the Netgear router is running both NAS and media sharing software. And they're probably running Linux to provide the interface. an "ethernet drive" is network attached storage, so. I could hang this drive on the USB port on one of the ethernet drives but I hate to lose the USB3 speed I get on the router. I have several ethernet drives that work fine - the data is just video so not worth investing in a true NAS system. Thanks - good advice - I might be able to repair any corruption without reformatting. I use NTFS for everything, because it lets all of my systems (Linux and Windows) to handle them. The success of that depends on what format you used on the drive when it was initialized.

The NAS units from Synology work well with everything I've tested them against, including as targets for MakeMKV to write to - it's been tested with 3 machines feeding 5 streams of date from MakeMKV at the same time two machines were running Handbrake, reading from and writing to the NAS. Ultimate solution was a new NAS, which takes care of everything EXCEPT wireless access, which is done through dedicated wireless access points, which are cheaper to distribute throughout the house. This also allowed for running chkdsk and other utilities. It was faster to drop the drive, plug into a computer, copy, then re-attach it to the NAS. My previous NAS (Iomega) was atrociously slow copying files to the external drives. One thing you could try is to simply disconnect the external drive from the router and attach it to your computer and run checks on it. The USB3 speed is a tremendous improvement but it doesn't buy me much if I can't trust the data integrity (I would also try write-verification if I could find a way.) I've come to suspect some corruption may be involved - I'm working on getting the drive cleaned off so I can see if reformatting helps. That's exactly what I've been doing since problems started - in fact picked up a cheap 2TB internal SATA to make sure I had plenty of space to keep files until I was sure they copied OK.Īny idea why it would only be a problem with MakeMKV saves? For 2 years I saved to a USB drive on my old WNDR3800 without a hitch. ![]() Or just leave the drive plugged into a computer that is on constantly, and set up a network share so it acts as a NAS. My recommendation would be to rip it to a local device, then move it later. It may be improved by a firmware update on the Router itself, but chances are it won't. But I digress.īasically, Netgear USB NAS functionality on their routers is terrible. My issues are related to using certain file copying programs (ie, Teracopy, and one I wrote myself) where the file size is increased after copying a file larger than 16MB. I'm in an ongoing 6-month support case with them for this very reason, starting out with an R7000, exchanging the R7000, and moving on to an R8000. ![]() Netgear does not have the best File Sharing software in the world - it's actually crap. Please contact us on our facebook page to get us searching for the driver you need.As soon as I saw the word Readyshare, I knew you were going to have issues. If there is a driver that you can’t find on our site, we will find it for you. OEM Drivers is a no fuss, one stop place where you can get access the drivers you need. If a company is still supporting a device, we will always link directly to that site until such a time that the support has expired. Too often when looking for drivers for a particular piece of hardware we have found ourselves having to avoid the tricks and traps that other driver websites use to try to install malware and other fake diagnostic/ driver detection tools often requiring you to put in credit card information to get rid of the software. This site is built by technicians for technicians, having said that everyone is welcome to try do their own diagnostics and fix their own computer problems. Another reason is to make sure less computers are put in landfill, as without these drivers many pieces of older hardware are rendered useless. We started for the preservation of rare device drivers and also current device drivers that may become harder to find for future generations. OEM Drivers ( Original Equipment Manufacturer) are proprietary pieces of software that interface a physical piece of hardware device (keyboard, mouse, sound, graphics etc.) with a host Operating System (OS) such as Windows, Mac OS or Linux. ![]()
