A 9 month ago i was managed to hook-up 4 TB HDD to RT-AC66U_b1 and it worked pretty well on NTFS for a year! 9 month after I dismount HDD for HW check because web-ui NTFS check dont work for 4 TB anyway. I preformed chekdisk (100% good) and defrag. After that i huked-up drive to rauter and get 100% CPU utilization and no volume mounting. RAM is on 50%.

and

I checked it:
  • at usb2 port. without chsnges
  • with another GPT-NTFS-formatted HDD (1TB) - works ideally
  • with up to 3 additional linux volumes and NTFS-only at 4TB drive
  • reset to "factory defaults" and load 100% working config and jffs
As i understund it's dying particularly for 3.6 TB NTFS volume which works earlier well and works perfectly on PC now. Do someone have any ideas?
PS:
I turn-off all I can imagine for USB-HDD (as SMB/FTP/DM/Logs etc)
ver.384.13

Per the Asus Plug-n-Share Disls Compatibility list (https://event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/) you should be OK with the 4TB on the RT-AC66U_B1.
However, you could still be having memory issues. Run the 4TB off of the USB2 port and have a thumbdrive in the USB3 port, but set that to USB2 operation, and have a 256 to 512 MB swap file or swap partition, on the thumb drive.
You may want to consider partitioning the 4TB into two 2TB partitions. Usr another PC to check the file system(s) on teh USB drive.
 
Hi!
Thanks!
I will try your advice, definitely. But funny part of this is it works 2 days ago with the this disk in this enclosure and this partition at router with this settings and OS. And 9 month ago I tested it for full capacity (all 3.6 TB to the last bit). I was filling it with fils generated by pattern on PC and check on router, format again and filling it by the files again thru router direcly. An all was worked fine without slitest errors in both cases!
Maybe you have an idea why it glitched so nasty? Theoretically? Because I do not have any.
 
I am frustrated. I emptyfy 1.6 TB from my NTFS partition (moved files to other HDDs) and its hooked-up perfectly. Without any other actions. Why in the world?!?

Why it had hanged-up earlier? Why it didn't before? What should I do to prevent this thing (and full day of time to move files forward and backwards)?
