| Hi All
Just got myself a 1 TB USB disk but when I plug it into my SAM460 it doesnt mount it but USB recognises I have plugged it in! Do you know how to get it mounted. I assume using Media Toolbox?

That popped up a window showing device. Looks like you can choose a file system but how ban I format it?

I wonder if it has enough power. But if it shows up and stays there it should be fine.
Do you know what filesystem the drive is formatted with? Usually would be NTFS unless the drive is customised. And one of those Windows only jobs.
The designation of DH3 is strange. It should say USB3 or similar.
Also what OS4 version do you have? I don't recall what version had it but we got NTFS support somewhere along the way. |

weird it says DH3: instead of USB and maybe if its NTFS formatted was the reason...

The big usb3 drives are formated for PCs these days, usually NTFS. They can be made to work with amigas by reformatting. Question is, do you want to share with a PC or just use on the amiga? Win 7-10 FAT formatting is limited to 32G drives now, there are apps that can do 2TB drives. Basicly you need to reformat on a PC. NTFS should work on both, but NTFS has a problem with big files on the amiga side & exfat drive won't mount on amigas. USB drives are slow, I would stick to smaller stick drives.
