Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

Hello

Happy new year.

Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

- Western Digital my book Duo.

- IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.

    Hi @ptr1959w!

    Yes, you can use an external hard drive on your laptop - just connect via one of the USB ports on your machine, partition and format it in disk management, and you should be ready to go. Here is an article with the steps you can follow to do this:

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

As the laptop will probably have Windows 7 preinstalled, I'll be able to use the data on my drive that came from a Windows XP Pro operating system. Data such as Word, doc, Excel, doc, internet web pages. I do not know the media items will be ok, but not sure about programs etc.

    Hi Roy,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The description of the problem you have provided, I understand that your C drive is full and trying to move some information on external hard drive.

    I will certainly help you in this matter.

    If you have data files in the C drive, you can go ahead and move them to the external hard drive. You will not be able to move the files to the program on the external hard drive.

    In order to get the free space in C drive, you can go ahead and uninstall the software bit that you use it often.

    See the link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    You can also delete files using disk cleanup, which would reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space.

  • Using an external hard drive with El Capitan

    I connected a Toshiba external hard drive in a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to back up some files.

    First, he asked if I wanted to use it for time machine. I selected "decide later".

    Then, I realized that I could not create a new folder on the hard drive, or I could stick anything on it (to save).

    I could copy the HD stuff and paste on my desktop only, but not what I need...

    What is a typical problem? Is it because I chose to decide later? Has anyone encountered this before?

    (p.s. Please also indicate if the question category, I chose should be changed)

    This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac. To check, select the volume in the Finder, choose information, look at the format.

    In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

  • You can use an external hard drive with iPad Pro

    A disk external drive can be used with an iPad Pro?

    You can do it wirelessly with devices such as Wireless Connect from Sandisk stick.

    https://www.SanDisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/connect-wireless-stick

    There are other devices that run a similar feature, but the Sandisk Connect is incredibly portable and usable also as a USB drive (even if it is a USB 2.0 device).  It is now available in capacities of 16 GB to 200 GB.

    I don't know of anyway to connect an iPad Pro on an external drive via a wired connection... Although it may be possible.

  • Can I use an external hard drive that is compatible to Windows on a Mac through reformatting?

    If so, what format to use? Mac OS extended (journaled)?

    Thank you!

    PS: I tried to put this in the Mac system software, but I could not find in 100 + element of submenu. I must say the redesign of the forum makes it much more difficult to use, and it is almost impossible to find positions in some themes that were available in the old form by a simple click on a symbol. It feels like Apple wanted to have as bad an organization like Google (endless sub-menus in otherwise good work pro apps e-mail) and be too cryptic in its structure than that of Windows. Apple, please go back to the simple user interfaces that can be understood by logic. Yes, I tried to put this comment in a comment forum, but I could not find.

    1. Yes, you can.

    2. Yes.

  • can I use an external hard drive LaCie Raid time capsule?

    I am trying to hang a LaCie Raid to my Time Capsule for additional storage. I don't see the LaCie. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Support Apple mentions that you can plug a simple USB to the port on the router from the airport, or several readers if you use a powered USB hub.  There is no mention of Raid type disk, which I interpret as meaning that the RAID is not supported by the firmware on the USB port on the airport.

    Uses for the USB port of Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express - Support Apple Airport

    From my experience, the Raid type drives are not recognized by the USB port on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.

    Even if the RAID drive was recognized, probably would NOT ever want to connect a RAID stack on the port.

    The reason is that the port is USB 2.0 only... and due to the limitations of the processor in the airport router, the port runs at half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer. Thus, it would be incredibly slow with this type of installation.

    I have an external hard drive, Toshiba-1 t. It is connected with a USB cable. My computer has wireless access, and the other computer does not work. The internet allows us to connect.
