compatibility issues with the oppo 95 and ext hd's

Wondering if anyone else has encountered this or has any suggestions. I tried two "pro audio" hard drives: the latest from glyph and avastor. Both have internal power supplies and will allow me to use my synergistic research hologram a power cords. However, the oppo is not compatible with the latest oxford chipset. Has anyone had any luck using a quality hard drive on the oppo 95? Oppo said they tested the 95 using western digital and hitachi before release. Very dissapointing in an otherwise fine piece.

A further thought. You mentioned having 2TB of music. How big are the drives you've tried? Many computer operating systems have incompatibilities with drive sizes exceeding 2.19TB. I'm wondering if the OS that is running within the Oppo may be having that problem.

I tried 2TB hard drives. Oppo said the compatibility issue is with the oxford 924 chipset which is used in the current model pro audio hd's.

My 1 TB HP will not work right on my Oppo 95. It will play only about 100 CD's out of the 2000 that were ripped on the Hard drive all in Apple Lossless.

Ozzy, did you let Oppo know? What did they say?

Srz888, No,I have not called Oppo because I thought the 95 could only handle just small flash drive storage not external hard drives.
Perhaps I will contact them, maybe they can suggest an external hardrive that DOES work with the 95.
