Airport Extreme - Harddrive recognition. Do I have to setup the drive first using the Airport Extreme utility?

The Hard Drive must be formatted to FAT16, FAT32, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled)/HFS+. If it is formatted to FAT16 or FAT32 it will be restricted to drives under 124GB, so If your drive is above 124GB you will need to go with Mac OS Extended (Journaled)/HFS+. Launch the AirPort Disk Utility and enable "Show AirPort Disks in the menu bar", then Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s).

This unit has drives already installed. You want the diskless version if you want to pick your own drives

Thanks for your question. This TotalMount is compatible with the first through fifth generations of AirPort Extreme, so it will fit your 3rd generation AirPort Extreme like a glove.

Hi. I don´t know yet since I have not been able to use it because I found out that the equipment I bought did not have HDD. I hope that next week I will have ready to be used. However, I bought this brand because a freiend of us has one and has a decent performance for its price.

Did you buy a diskless model and install a drive in it? Unless you bought a preconfigured model, there is some setup work before you can use the DS. Ricardo's answer only pertains to preconfigured Beyond Cloud models.

When I first added this card, Windows 7 will recognize it, but I then installed the correct driver from the CD that came with the card. In Windows 7, under Device Manager, Storage controllers, you should see "Marvell 92xx SATA 6G Controller" after installing the correct driver. I have attached 2 hard drives to this card at the same time, and both are recognized and both operate fine. Currently, I do not have a 3rd hard drive attached to this card, but I am quite sure that I had put a 3rd hard drive on (when I was transferring files) and it also worked fine. I had emailed tech support with SYBA and they have been quite good in responding. So I suggest you email them if you still have problem. Good luck.

None but its independent of the os so it should function like any other jump drive

I just got one that uses a different chipset than typical USB drives, which registers it as a local disk rather than removable media as part of Win8 certification. You'd need third party software to load ISO images onto the drive.

Thanks Terence!This is exactly the info I was looking for! One more question, do you know if the copy of Windows 7 that is factory-installed comes already activated or do you have to activate it on first-boot? If I am to replace the hard drive with a new one (that being the only change) I don't want to face potential activation lock-out because Microsoft thinks I'm trying to install it on an entirely different machine.

the user name and license keys should be on the box that the external drive came in also their is a small disc that says driver on it should be included in your box with the external drive. I installed mine a year ago so don't remember exactly how that goes now but all the information that you need is in the box or on the box to get this to install.

I put in a drive with data on it and windows wouldn't recognize it unless I formatted it first. Works fine after formatting, but I had to backup all of my data before using the drive.

Yes it's justs plug and play and it's recognized by any OS. I use windows backup with no problems.The drive itself is amazingly fast! I'd say it has cut hours a week in productivity.

Y-load software that comes with it first-restart with DVD drive installed your machine will automatically recognize it.

I have no idea where these yes and/or maybe answers are coming from. Even if your router is one of the few with a USB interface specifically for hard drives (airport extreme is one), you can't call this USB unit a network hard drive. A network hard drive has an ethernet or wifi interface, which these do not have. The only correct answer is no, it won't work as a network hard drive. Are we all talking about the same exact Toshiba? Maybe not since Amazon likes to make changes and lump things together as one, but I doubt any in this series have ever been network capable.

You will have to refer to the manual that came with it, a list of hard drives are listed. Steve

I do not know but the computer recognises the usb drive as having found new hardware and installs device driver software. I am not technologically advanced perhaps there could be other ways of skipping the installation. There is a traveler locker +G3 user manual on this webpage: http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products?model=DTL.

It should work. What do you mean not recognized? Can you not see the drive in Disk Utilities in order to format the drive?
