Adding an External Hard Drive

Connecting an External Drive

Your TeraStation includes USB ports (the number of ports depends on your model), and you can connect external drives to these ports. Once connected they appear as shared folders on the TeraStation. Formatted drives are detected automatically. Unformatted drives should be formatted in Settings.

After a USB drive is recognized, Windows adds “usbdisk X” under the TeraStation in “Network”, where “X” is the USB port where the hard drive is connected.

The following USB devices are supported by the TeraStation:

• USB storage devices

• Card readers (except for card readers that can recognize two or more memory cards)

• Digital cameras

• USB-connected UPSs

• USB printers

Buffalo external USB drives are recommended.

These devices are not supported:

• DUB and DIU series drives

• Hubs, mice, and keyboards
