[SOLVED] Asus RT-AC58U USB transfer stops after sometime in network attached HDD!

[5uryawanshi]

Hi im using Asus RT-AC58U with a powered USB 3.0 hub attached with two 2Tb HDD, the router detects the individual HDD and I'm able to add the HDD as network drives in Windows 10.

I can access the files and download them to my PC without any problem, but when I try to upload files to one of this network connected drives it stops/pauses the copying randomly.

I have a LAN cable which is connected to the router for better speeds (gives me upto 100mbps in wan while transfers)

Please help me find a solution to the abrupt stopping of the copy process.
TIA

The CPU of a router is a poor choice for network attached storage. You probably have hurt your performance even more by having those drives formatted as NTFS file system. Allow the router to format one as EXT file system and see if your performance doesn't improve.
If you want performance from network storage, you have to buy hardware (or repurpose hardware) that was intended to do that as the primary purpose. A router is NOT designed to be good quality network storage.

Thanks! will try formatting EXT and check.
Can you please elaborate the hardware part, what should I use etc?

As @nigelivey said. Check the websites of the major NAS vendors. Synology, QNAP, Thecus or Asustor.
