Your LinkStation includes a USB port and you can connect an external drive to this port. It will appear as a shared 
folder on the LinkStation. Formatted drives are detected automatically. Unformatted drives should be formatted in 
Settings.
After a USB drive is recognized, Windows adds "usbdisk X" under the LinkStation in "Network", where "X" is the USB 
port where the hard drive is connected.

Notes: 
•  Hubs are not supported. Connect a single USB drive to the USB port.
•  Backup data from Mac OS may include characters that cannot be written to FAT16 or FAT32 drives such as 

".DS_Store". For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup target.

The following devices are supported by the LinkStation:
•  USB storage devices
•  Card readers (except for card readers that can recognize two or more memory cards)
