Just bought WD TV Live, updated it to latest FW (1.02.21) and put ASUS WIFI N stick. It’s awesome!
But! When i connect WD Elements Portable 500Gb HDD with HFS+ (no journaling), after few soft on-off’s HDD disappears from system or start work very slow, or even hangs the box.
After “hard” off-on sequence drive appears and works flawless until next “soft” power off-power on.
If i do “eject” before power off it seems that HDD appears ok after on. But this is inconvenient.
I think someone has already post the idea for adding an eject command, but you might want to check in the Ideas Lab to make sure. So, if it hasn’t been posted, you can post it. Unfortunately, I don’t know when the next firmware release is.
I have found that I can get by without ejecting before power-off so long as I am careful to hit “Home” or back out of the USB HDD area to the home page or whatever it’s called before power-off. It’s been working alright for the last few days anyway. I’m using the latest firmware. You might give that a try if you find eject too much bother, but no guarantees. Different HDDs might respond differently.
