RT-AC68U is doing the same..stopping upload to USB3 drive

[philmiami]

I just got this thing going
I am on OS X/iMac
put in a 500GB Hybrid Seagate 4GB SSD/500GB HD 2.5" Maxtor in a Intek USB3 case and a USB3 cable and put it to the back of the router on the USB port.
After transfering ONLY 5GB (using a folder with 52GB to transfer to the external drive)
It stopped and said DISK FULL
This I just flashed with the lates version of Merlin for the AC68U
I have DLNA and iTunes processes running even thou nothing is there on the drive
The drive is formatted in FAT from Disk Utility on OS X 10.7.5
So this can not do big transfers just like the WRT1900AC I just sent back?
So....is this a normal thing or what?
thanks

It's possible that the router is unable to handle the hybrid drive.

I will put a regular 3.5" Western Digital Black Caviar 7200 RPM drive in a ThermalTake BlacX dock and hook it up thru USB 2.0 and try that way
I know a router is not a NAS
but it should not crap out at 5GB, that's like the size of a bluray disc
so to be able to use it to stream movies?
Is it possible or is it just to put a file once in a while?

Please re-read my reply. Considering the fact your hybrid HD happens to have a flash size that is oddly close to the 5 GB limit you are experiencing, this is what makes me suspect the problem could be a compatibility issue with the hybrid drive. Those drives don't use a standard architecture.

I already explained this to you.

The "disk full" problem you are experiencing is NOT CAUSED BY YOUR ROUTER.

It's an issue with OSX file transfers using SMB.

Enable FTP and upload the file. I will bet it works.

ok......
going to try that today
FTP it, to the hybrid drive
