I have a VMB4540 hub and it doesn’t recognise the hard disc I attached

I have a VMB4540 hub and it doesn’t recognise the hard disc I attached, it’s if nothing is connected. The hard disc is a usb 2.0 bipra 2TB FAT32 which I plugged into the USB port in the back of the hub.

Do you get a message that the drive requires formatted? 

Did you format the drive using Arlo?

Does the disk require extra power that the Arlo USB port may not be providing?

A thumb drive is far more useful than connecting a hard drive. A 64GB drive will hold a lot of recordings before filling at which time you can eject the drive and copy files over to wherever you want for permanent storage.
