USB Storage Expansion
The N299 supports external USB hard disks through its two USB ports. Once a USB hard disk has been successfully mounted, users can access the files on the USB hard disk under the USBHDD folder. The N299 supports up to 6 USB external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
Before attaching a USB disk drive to N299, you have to partition and format it on a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will be located at
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\usb1\1\ where 192.168.1.100 means the IP address of N299, usb1 stands for the first USB device, and 1 stands for the first partition on disk #1, the USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy files from \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\usb1\1 but cannot add new files or modify existing files.
NOTE
If you want to write to an USB storage device, the file system must be FAT32.
USB Storage | FAT32 Partition | NTFS Partition |
Read | OK | OK |
Write | OK | - |
