USB readers and USB drive dead

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using the NAS continually for over 3 days
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SNAKEOS v1.3.2 on Windows 7

Please provide any additional information

After using continually the NAS, I've already destroyed 3 USB SD readers (but 
not the SD itself)(they don't work anymore), 1 HD (click of death) and one USB 
Key (destroyed file system).
Is it a problem with the NAS that had someone else?

Hi,

could you check the incoming power supply is really 5V or not?
Also if possible than check the output voltage on the USB cons of the NAS, 
should be 5V too.

Regards

A

I really don't know how to check that. Is there any specific tool?

Yes, some kind of multimeter you will need it.

I've added an usb hub to the NAS. I know there should not ben enough power to 
power it, but it seems there is after all (probably that was the problem that 
destroyed the usb readers). Using the hub, the readers (also more than one at 
the same time) work great.
