ExFat USB drives not working after 7.3

Synology
1

I recently upgraded from a DS920+ to a DS925+. Since I am not using Synology drives I upgraded both to DSM 7.3.

I have 2 USB drives formatted as ExFat plugged in - one in the back and one in the front. The one in the back is intermittent. It sometimes shows and sometimes vanishes. When it is not available the General Tab in the info center also goes blank (sic).

The USB drive in the front doesn’t show at all anymore. Different brands.

Any suggestions on how I can format these drives such that I can plug them into a Mac and use in the Synology?

Did you uninstall the exFAT package? It is no longer necessary, and could lead to conflicts. ExFAT support is native to DSM 7.3

Great question. But, yes, I had already uninstalled that.

Thanks!

Please update to DSM 7.3.1

Thanks for the suggestion but it is already on that release.

What does Control Panel > External Devices say about them? Have you removed and connected them again?

I have. I reformatted one drive. The ntfs one I remounted.

At the moment they are working. Let’s see how that goes.
