Attaching a USB HD to an RT-AC66U

[ChuckT]

In the process of replacing our LinkSys E3000 Router with an AC66U.

I have noticed that the ASUS Website has a "Plug-N-Share" disk listing for the AC66U router and the list includes NTFS formatted disk(s).

Strangely the list has broken out NTFS disks as "Read Only" on one line and "Write Only" on a second and separate line.

FAT32 and FAT16 disks are _not_ listed that way.

Can anyone tell why me NTFS disks are treated that way? I want to add a USB disk as a Networked Storage to an AC66U and don't want to make any mistakes.

Well nobody commented. I attached the HD. Noticed first off that the 2 USB ports are not separated as much as I'd like to see. I had purchased three 128 gig thumb drive and can not stack two in the USB connectors. Solved that with a 3 -▶1 USB connector cable. Almost tried putting all 3

(Resuming) Almost tried putting all 3 thumb drives on but maybe that's pushing my luck☺
Now to see if this get a high WAF or a big goose egg/in-the-doghouse salute. I'm batting 500 there, maybe less ... probably much less.
