Only 200+ Mb of NAS on DIR-817LW with 8TB drive attached!
cousinisaac:
I am trying to attach storage to my DIR-817LW. I suspect the file format is to blame for some of my very large drives showing up as only having 200 odd MBs of space. Random USB thumb drives show their full storage capacity. What file format is required to gain the full access to the disc's capacity?

* What region are you located?

Router USB HDD Max Size FAQ
Hard Harry:
I would start with NTFS. What are you using now?
FurryNutz:
Even with NTFS, the full size if his drive won't be seen. ::)
Hard Harry:
I don't think the problem is the router doesn't see the HD, just that it only sees it as being 200GB big and not 8TB. My guess is the HD is Sandisk using GPT and OP has Windows XP. See here for work around.
