Buffalo external USB drives are recommended.
These devices are not supported:

Connect only one device to a USB port. Some external drives with automatic power-on don't turn on automatically 
when connected to the LinkStation. Use their manual switch to turn them on. Be sure to connect only one bus-
powered drive at a time. If there is insufficient bus power for your USB drive, connect its AC adapter. Note that only 
the first partition of a connected USB hard drive is mounted. Additional partitions are not recognized.

Note: Hard drives formatted with NTFS, exFAT, ext3, or HFS+ will have read-only access.

If the LinkStation is powered on, dismount external drives before unplugging them. You may dismount external 
drives with the function button, or any drives from Settings. If the LinkStation is off, then all drives are already 
dismounted and may be unplugged safely.

Note: If you unplug your external drives without dismounting them, Settings may still show "usbdisk" in File 
Sharing - Folder Setup. Reboot your LinkStation to clear it.

If the LinkStation is on, hold down the function button for 3 seconds. The white function LED will go out as all 
attached USB drives are dismounted. You may now unplug them safely.

In Advanced Settings, click Drives.

Click 

 to the right of "USB Drives".

Select the drive to dismount and click Dismount Disk.
