DeviceUmbrel Home (2024)  
Model numberU130121  
Serial numberU240500333

I have tried to connect to the USB port a 1TB ssd and a 64 GB memory. In either cases, they do not appear in the list of the command df -h nor they appear as mounted in the file system.

How can I access them?

Hey @Samara

Can you share the umbrelOS logs before and after you plug the storage devices in?

Can you also run `lsblk` to see if they show up there?

Thanks. I attach 2 logs created after rebooting.  
Before and then after connecting a SSD samsung 1TB on the USB port 1 (left)  
This is after connection of SSD:

lsblk does not show anything. The first one is without the external disc, the second one is with the samsung usb ssd.

Hey @Samara

Thank you for providing the logs. From them, I can see the kernel is detecting the drive and initializing it normally so there doesn’t appear to be a problem with the drive or kernel not detecting it.

That being said, it’s possible external storage drives are not yet fully supported on UmbrelOS so you may need to wait for a future update. In the meantime, you can try mounting it yourself in the Terminal to be able to access it.
