hi
new to all this so be gentle

i got an edision os mini, installed latest openvix, now trying to set up timeshift via an external usb hdd, i formatted all drives to ext4 with the free program 'mini tools partition manager"

a cruzer 16gb thumb drive is recognized by the os mini in the rear and front usb ports

a new external usb3 portable 2.5" 80gb is only recognized in the front usb port, and is not recognized in the rear usb port

the os mini manual gives identical specs for front and rear usb ports, 500 mA max, web recommending 320gb or less for hdds, could i of got a faulty OS mini or is it the usb3 lead ? idk
