						SupporterWhat formatting on the disk? (and the USBs)
If different, eg. the USB is Fat32 and the hard disk is NTFS(assuming you're a Windows PC person), try formatting the hard disk with Fat32 too.
But if it could be limited to the size of the ext device too.
As a side note, about how confusing/frustrating devices and peripherals can be.
I used to use a Nikon D300 camera for a good many years. Got it a decently fast 8Gb Compact Flash(CF card) worked a treat for some years.
Updated camera to a Nikon D800E, popped in this CF card into it(for it's speed) .. zip! .. nothing!! .. no work. back into the D300 works, back into the D800E, nothing!
Why? no one knows, how .. no one knows. Ended up getting a larger CF card for the D800E works. Popped that into the D300 .. works!
No matter what I try the D800E just doesn't recognise that this particular card is in.
just happens .. move on with life.

						Been through all of this on the D4 and D5. Best I can get to work is a 32GB FAT32 USB stick. On this stick I have ~20GB of music which the D5 can take some minutes to recognise at start up. Maybe its cataloging the contents?
I too am an avid listener of podcasts but I keep these on my phone (for auto downloads) and BT the audio to the car.
On a side note I got Apple Carplay and Android Auto enabled at the last service. Thinking I could dump the USB stick and just use my 64GB phone with Android Auto, but the Car's media centre is so laborious and slow I gave up and went back to the stick for music and the phone via BT for podcasts.
