Using 2 x USB Drives on ac68u

[Moshtin]

Is there any performance hit using both USB drives for wireless streaming to other devices around the house. I have a 4tb and a 2tb and just wondering if anyone has had any issues before I venture behind the TV and have a look myself.

Thanks

**sorry its an ac86u**

Most likely you could run out of memory and the Asus router could crash/restart. Reading video files seems to go easier than writing. EXT3 file system may be better than NTFS. I've recently switched from a 1 TB EXT3 USB2 drive to a 1 TB NTFS USB2 drive with no ill effect. With your 4 TB drive you may be pushing the limit of what Asus can read.

Thank you for the reply.

So far the 4tb has been fine (and just to confirm it's a ac86u - not the ac68u in the header I mistakenly put)

The 4tb is in the USB 3 slot and just wondering if I added a 2tb into the USB slot how much a performance hit that could be.
