    Boost your power supply. When I use my compact USB drive which doesn't have it's own power source, I need at least 2.5 amps of power in order for the Pi to power-up the drive.

    hi. pi3 has been working till now with matrix and the HDD with no issues. i do not think the problem cames from PS. PS its up to 3Amps and never saw the "low power ray" on screen with this 3A PS (i saw it with 2Amps earlier PS, for that i moved to 3Amps), however, drive is running because i can hear it spinning. thank you.

    hi there. just updating from matrix 19.4 to nexus (libreleec 10.95.1) in my PI3, installation was done tow ways, forts kjust updatont from matrix, next was a clean install using USB-SD creator and new formatted 16gb sd card.

    nothing else was installed after, just basic config to start using kodi, but i noticed my external hdd does not appear anywhere, nothing in the dev/media folder, nothing shown in the system information/storage. (by the other hand usb any pendrive is detected correctly)

    Hdd drive is a toshiba essentials 2tb 2.5" that is working fine with matrix and the weird thing is this: if i unplug hdd drive usb, then kodi shows (upper right corner message) "succesfully removed storage toshiba xxx" for a second, then i plug in it again but no message of external unit connected and no drive avaliable.

    thank you.
