    I have 2 identical external hard drives but my Zidoo Z9S can only find 1 of them.
    Can someone help me with this problem

    I faced this problem recently. It seems a bug with openwrt for NTFS formatted drives. duplicate UUID is assigned for both drives.
    The mount points are random for either drive.


    I formatted one of the identical HDD with exFAT and the problem is gone.

    What is the maximum size drive z9s supports, will it support 8tb?

    I can confirm 8TB drive works fine.

    exFAT works fine on a HDD with Zidoo but not with many other brand media players. So not portable using exFAT.

    HDD's bigger than 8 TByte should work too. Using up to 10 Tbyte myself.
