It's worse than that, the device is not powering up either.

Looks like time to find a new unit.

Hi,

I purchased two of the Argosy HD363N's and both of them show the same problem. When I am copying files from my PC to the NAS, the connecting gets lost and the green led is blinking (long off, long on). The device is not responding to anything (also stand-by switch doesn't work), HDD and fan keep on running. The latest firmware was already in. I had this several times, while copying large amounts of files.

I read all the previous posts and learned that this device is not suited for professional use, but in my opinion it should be able to backup my internal HDD to this HD363N without problems.
In the device I mounted a Western Digital 250GB harddisk (WD2500JB).

Anyone facing the same problem (f.i. the blinking led in that frequency)?

Regards,

Rob.

I found a newer firmware:
http://www.argosyusa.net/driver/NetHDD007-1127.zip
Same firmware version is also on the INOi site:
http://www.inoi.com/English/download/NetHDD007-1127.zip

I loaded it and the drive scanned with no errors. I'm presently streaming video from it while I'm writing some zip files to it, sometimes two at once. So far, it hasn't barfed so it appears like a good firmware! No release notes unfortunately...

Edit: A day later it is still running flawlessly. Since the previous firware I've been going a couple months between crashes but I don't usually do multiple simultanious transfers as that used to crash it. I'll repost here if I have any crashes wink

I see some pretty poor throughputs mentioned in reviews using older firmwares so I thought I'd document what I'm seeing. Transfering a 100Mb file I get 5000 KB/s reading from and 3200KB/s writing to the NAS. One review had reading at 1300KB/s and writing at 2000KB/s so they have improved that quite a bit! This was tested on a 100 Mb/s wired LAN with no other traffic which has a theoretical throughput of 12500KB/s.

I also tested reading on my two wireless LANs, also with no other traffic:
802.1b = 650 Kb/s
802.1g = 2200 Kb/s
These are both near enough the theoretical throughputs to say that the NAS can saturate those "pipes"

Happy NASing,
Ron
