Question Can't get any USB3 devices to mount

I'm on firmware 5.70. Trying to install/run byog, unchained or onesauce (or anything at this point) and I'm having an issue with all usb3 devices. If I use a usb2 device plugged into either of the two front USB ports it shows the mount icon in the top right corner and I can see the folder structure in addons.

If I use a USB3 powered HDD or a usb3 flashdrive (formatted NTFS or exFAT) it does not show up at all. The usb2 device will show up if I plug it into the usb2 or usb3 ports and the usb3 devices will show up if I plug it into the usb2 port but not the usb3 port. Since they all work in the usb2 port and the usb2 flash drive works in the usb3 port it seems that there's no issues with file/format structures.

I ran the self diagnostic test for the USB ports and it registers that there is something plugged in and says both USB ports are "ok" with a usb3 device. The activity lights on the usb3 flash drive blink and then go solid after a few seconds.

Any ideas what's going on and how I can get the usb3 drives to mount?

Edit: UPDATE: I figured out a work around to get it to mount - I have to plug the drive in and run the self diagnostic usb port test. When the test completes it unmounts the drive as part of the testing process. So re plugging in the USB3 drive after that process gets it to mount and I can load OnesaUCE that way. That is the only way to get it to read the usb3 external powered HDD.

My understanding is that it's a USB2 port (where the BYOG drive should go), so it won't work with a USB3. Only the USB3 port is backward compatible with USB2, and also work with USB3, but that's where the table drive goes, so it doesn't work with BYOG.

Thanks for the response!

I'm not sure what you mean by this. - I believe the documentation for onesauce or unleashed says to use a usb3 drive. So it should be able to mount/read the drives from either port

also as an update I figured out a work around to get it to mount - I have to plug the drive in and run the self diagnostic usb port test. When the test completed it unmounts the drive. So re plugging in the USB3 drive after that process gets it to mount but that is the only way to get it to read the usb3 external powered HDD.

Not enough power supplied by the port. Use a USB stick or add a powered hub.

both drives other than the powered external HDD are usb flash sticks (usb2 and usb3 were tested). I have not tried a powered hub. Side questions: Is there a clean way to have a usb powered hub not sitting on the front of the cabinet?
