I am facing a problem on my Xtreamer Pro and need sifu here to advice.

I am using latest Firmware 2.7 and using Western Digital Green 2TB WD20EARS without any harddisk detection problem. Recent I bought another WD Green 2TB but model is WD20EARX instead. I can read the HDD from my PC but my Xtreamer can read it. I have tried to use Xtreamer to format it and it able to read by the player after that, but my PC can't recongice the HDD that formatted by the media player.

Both my PC and Xtreamer also format it as NTFS but why not compatible to each other? Anyway to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Turn on FTP and NAS at Xtreamer Pro Setting, see if it works?

Thanks for reply. I know I can turn on FTP or NAS to transfer file but it is slow, I prefer to use my Toaster.

I just found the solution ans I would like to share here. WD20EARX is using 6Gb/s interface which I think it is not supported by Xtreamer. Basically you need to use jumper (not bundled) to connect Pin 5 & 6 to limit the speed to 3Gb/s, then format again using your PC. That's all, your player will be able to recognize the drive after that. You can uninstall the jumper after format, the player is still able to read.
