Tried several pendrive and ssd drives and after a while the message appears.
Only solution is to reboot or unplug / plug the storage again....
Anyone having this problem?

I've seen the message although it wasn't related to your issue. I had no usb devices connected, but i've added smb server in storages and while watching a movie from there in kodi i got that message and video stopped for a second and returned right away...
Not a big deal because i have NFS server for Kodi and it works without issues...

Please install Rufus on your PC and format your USB drives to the above formats and try again.
Here is the instruction on formatting USB drives using Rufus.

How to format Micro SD card, USB flash drive, pen drive, hard drive or SSD for use with Z and S Boxes.
How to format Micro SD card, USB flash drive, pen drive, hard drive or SSD for use with Z and S Boxes.
If you format your recording device (in most cases SD Card or USB Stick) with your OS and experience strange behaviour on your Box, recordings are not finished or not saved on the recording device, then could unsuccessful or wrong formatting be the reason for this issue.
Formuler Boxes support following format:
For now it is not possible to format directly the recording…

the problem is not how the the ssd or pendrives are formated!
same storage was used in my z8 and everything ok.
formated with rufus , probmem still there.
the problem must be the z11 firmware.
timeshift also acts very weird in this box

Problem with formatting
I am using rufus or my pc windows 11
Well problem still there.
Formated with rufus and usb storage gets disconnected.
Not very practical to unplug and plug again each time it happens in a day..
What devices are you using so that you don't have this problem???
Must say that i really don`t understand why this happen on your side! I m using for many tests over ca.10 usb sticks and two ssd`s on Z11 boxes and have never, never any disconnect. If the usb stick is formatted (for use on Z11 format again) exactly like in my article with Rufus, the recognising and use of this stick should work like intended (on all Formuler boxes).
Please check all settings GPT, MBR, NTFS etc. all settings like on picture and try again. The USB Stick should also have just one partition. If this not lead into success, please think about other usb stick, sd card or ssd.
How much will you spam such threads , with posting over and over same??
It`s last time i m telling this.
Hi Sam, thanks for your help.
I have done exactly that in rufus and still happens.
Everything works for a few times but after the box goes to standby the pen / ssd is not recognised.
Used 6 / 7 pens and 3 ssd...
Can you please communicate this to developers?
Thanks
Storage acces Problem to,.Fantec Harddisk (HDD)
After the recent update, Z11 Pro Max, i can not play videos from my external hardrive,.
External harddisk with content is not visible! Both USB slots i have tried, without a positiv result,.
Mediamanager +VLC player do not see the content,..
Thanks,.
Can you please communicate this to developers?
Sure but first tell me if you did factory reset?
After the recent update, Z11 Pro Max, i can not play videos from my external hardrive,.
HDD is formatted with? With videos you mean recordings or saved films on same hdd?
Hi Sam, yes did factory reset. Problem still there.
Thanks
Before i have a Z10 Pro Max, and it functioned perfekt,. On the HDD i have a lot saved films/videos almost 2 Tb, mostly MP4 format.
I have no recorded from Z11 Pro Max on it. It has a SUPERSPEED USB 3.0 connector. i do not see how it is formatted,.its hidden,.?!?
Hi Sam.
Well after a few days, problem still there.
The warning about storage disconnected no longer appeared but after sleep the box can't find the pendrive.
Solution is to go to settings, choose the usb that you want to use for timeshift or recording.
After that, you clear recent programs and open mytvonline3 and timeshift / recording is working again.
I would not directly point to USB port fail but if you tested so much different sticks+ FR, then it could be that something is really wrong with the usb port. Second possible reason could be fluctuating power supply. If you have some from other formuler box , replace and test. If same, then it is the box usb port and you should contact your seller for warranty.

Lana, your issue is something else, please open own thread for your issue.
Hi again, like you suggested Sam tryed with my z8 power supply. No luck, problem still persist.
Tried both usb and happens in both, for me it's firmware problem.
Today I tried something different, I did not choose the pendrive in settings for recording /timeshift.
Only thing I did was to clean recent programs. Pushed twice in home button and then the red button to clear.
Opened mytvonline3 and timeshift was working....
Was I clear enough Sam? Thanks
Please fix this problem in next firmware...
Hi,
I agree i tried also usb stick with this firmware and he cant see the stick.
I have backup on it and it says emty storage.
When i put in pc then i see the backup files.
It had worked before on other firmware before this one.
Was I clear enough Sam? Thanks
YES SIR, extremely clear.
YES SIR, extremely clear.
I am not English native speaker/writer . So sorry if that sounded offensive.
What I meant was if you understand what I found out about the problem. The pen is there, file explorer see it, storage settings see it.
If I wake up the box and go straight to mytvonline3, timeshift doesn't work.
If I clear recent program and open again mytvonline3, timeshift works fine.
I have a z8 and an alpha and they work great. I am a little disappointed with z11 pro max...
Will test roughly this Holidays entire recording and timeshift to reproduce the issue and come back to you.
Problem still there in new firmware.
Clear recent programs, enter / exit mytvonline 1 or 2 times and timeshift starts working.
Hi Sam
INFORMALLY
I always have the problem that my Z11 Pro Max does not display my USB3 key,
USB3.2 GEN 1 formatting method:
With my PC in fat32 and NTFS
With Rufus in Fat32 and NTFS
None of the 4 models worked
The key is perfectly functional on any device (Z8-Pro / Z10 Pro Max / PC / etc.) But not on the Z11 Pro Max
At some point (without knowing why) the USB3 key appeared in my storage equipment (after a factory reset) and I even managed to make recordings on it…
But after a few starts from the standby of MyTvOnline3, everything is gone again.
Also I noticed that even if the USB3 key is not connected, it is still identified in the MyTvOnline3 settings (dvr option) but not in the Z11 equipment storage settings.
Thanks for reading my findings...

Today I connected my Z11 to review the configurations and like magic, my USB3 key reappeared.
Accustomed to the Formuler boxes, I always try to understand...

Completely new here, however I get the storage disconnected message myself.

1. This can occur due to mount issue.
Kindly remove storage via the safely eject option in settings or power off the box then remove storage to prevent this.
2. It can also occur if the device has a short.
