Problems using an SD card reader

I’m already using a 16GB USB drive to record.

I have a spare 64GB Micro SD card. Formatted it to the requisite FAT 32. Plugged it in and I find that the base station will render both drives as non existing. Unplug the SD card reader and the 16GB comes back online. Add a different USB thumb drive and both work. Conclusion: Base station doesn’t like card readers and/or SD cards even if formatted to FAT 32.

What are you folks using for backup?

I'm currently using a cheap Lexar 32gb thumb drive i picked up at Costco as a two pack... works fine.

So stick with know speed sticks or hd and not the card reader adapters which obv throws something in the mix that Arlo doesn't like

The reason it didn't work was I was using a READER.
