ARGOSY - HD363N - Network Storage
I have just purchased a Argosy - HD363N Network Storage Enclosure and
put in my Maxtor 200 gig drive. This Enclosure connects to your router by RJ45 and allows adding Network storage cheaply. It supports Fat16, Fat32. The problems I am having: 1) When the drive wakes up after being unsed for a while it does not allways connect properly and needs to be restarted. 2) I copied all the files I needed to the drive and have just used applications that READ only from the drive but do not write and now I have files that are corrupted. Is anyone using this Network Enclosure? Are you having any of these problems? Bob Valentino |

I have a couple of gigs of files on there, lots of pictures(they are being indexed no problem by google's Picasa2) and I'm even serving about 12 gigs of MP3s to my audiotron(the discovery of songs doesn't work properly, but if you manually create a TOC it works fine). I would tend to think that the waking up problem is probably DHCP related. The device can act as HCP server and client I believe, so check to see what you have enabled, or better yet just use static(that is how I have mine).I am pretty sure this device uses smb to share folders. There is also a telnet server on the device. Use Putty if you are on windows and use the same admin and password you configured through the web interface to login. Quite a few commands available and you can really configure the thing from the telnet line if you want to. Just type help after you are logged in to get a complete command reference. I love this device so far and am very interested in hacking around with it, specifically understanding the OS. Here is a pic of the board in it if you are interested(warning, pretty large picture) http://www.bradandsasha.com/images/HD-363N_Board.jpg Good Luck |

I have purchassed two of these units and am having the same issues
with both. I have tried several different hard disk drives in them to see if perhaps it was a drive issue. Also when opening a file from the drive and then trying to save it back, it tells me that I can not save it back to the drive as there isa lready a file with that name and it can not be over written. Attempting to do backups to this deveice also gives me Windows write cache errors and stops the backup. |

Here is a good one for you, I cannot use WINXP-HOME with sp2 and all
the latest updates with this device. When I try to create a new folder (right click add folder) in the shared directory (in Network Nieghborhood) the window hangs and says UNABLE TO CREATE "New Folder" THE FILE ALREADY EXISTS. And all the files I did copy over are READ-ONLY. The twist to all of this, is that the LINUX and MAC computers that are using SMB hae no problems at all!! |

Have been working with Argosy about the issue with the HD363N and have
received a firmware upgrade that has fixed the problem. I have upgraded my firmware on all of my units and all are working fine. If you are interested in the firmware I will gladly email it to you if you contact me: or |

I too have a couple of these devices and see some wierd lockups on my
main PC, and no issues on 2 others. I also have some questions around the FTP server, as I cannot get that to work. More on that when I solve the lockup issue. What backup software is supposed to come with this, as the the specs at pcmicrostore indiate it should have shipped with some..... Rick, I have emailed you directly for the firmware file. Regards Mark Runnig XP-Pro SP2 on all machines. athlon XP2000 server - has lockups when accessig the device at the directory level. Toshiba Tecra Laptop - has no issues with the device Shuttle SK43G - has no issues with the device |

I have tried the new firmware, and tried to reformat the hard disk.
The reformat only took a few seconds, is this normal for a 250GB disk ? I would expect a disk to be formatted in Fat32 to take much longer. The drive was not formatted before use in the HD363N. It was a new disk. I look forward to any pointers. Mark |

Just a quick update, the firmware update has not solved my main server
from hanging when trying to view files located in the public directory. This box is going back unless I can get it working with the main server ! Mark |

FWIW, I've been having similar issues with Argosy. In the process of
troubleshooting, I noticed that the IDE cable it shipped with was a standard 40wire/40pin cable (i.e. ATA-33). I swapped out this cable with an 80wire/40pin (ATA-66/100/133) cable and so-far, so good! YMMV, of course, but something to try. Argosy's HD-363 product page: http://www.argosyusa.net/product.asp...ct_name=HD363N And new Firmware as of 25 Mar 2005 http://www.argosyusa.net/driver/Argo...DD004-0317.zip |
