Has anyone connected two base stations to one external portable hard drive?  We have a 5 TB Seagate external portable hard drive with only one USB port.  It is now connected to only one base station. 

 

1.  How can we connect 2 base stations to the one external drive.

2.  Will the 5 TB support two different base stations because I think I read somewhere that the Arlo only supports up to like 2 TB.

Thanks, in advance.

I'd strongly suggest a couple of 16-64GB thumb drives instead, one for each base. The dual USB connection, if even possible, would likely cause multiple problems for things like ejecting the drive safely. I wouldn't even try this.
