       WDTV Live Hub Doesn't See 3 TB Drive, Does anyone else use a 3 TB drive with their Hub?

    According the the release notes, FW 2.06.10 enabled support for hard drives larger than 2 TB. I installed a WD30EZRX (3 TB), NTFS drive and the Live Hub doesn't even detect a device on the USB port. No flashing of the activity light. Nothing.

    Has anyone actually tried a 3TB drive yet?

    Sounds like despite WD's assurances about 3TB drive support in recent FW versions, there are still kinks to be ironed out. What a surprise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Obviously people can't afford to risk their data, so I guess your move back to 2TB drives is for the best. At least those did work fine last we checked.

    I haven't had any problems with the 2TB drives, ever.
