First, I'm sorry for my english
I'm trying the beta firmware
I've benn trying other firmwares, and the only that permited workin
fine was the 04-0317
My HD comes with NETHD05-0607, and I have the problem of th
"desconection" from the net
First I tried 04-0317 and it's work ok. Then, I'd tried SNAS05-060
and I had the error again. I wanted to install other firmware, an
when I tried it I received a error message. I had to return t
factory configuration BUT the NAS firmware still here, only change
the IP and the Administrator login and pass.
Finally I installed the beta fw and for now it's all ok

OH!! Beta fw worked fine UNTIL now. I received again the same messag
error. I flashed the 04-... fw, and ofr now it's all ok
I'm from Catalonia, in Europe. There is a possibility that the device
aren't equal in USA than in Europe

I just looked at a review on Tom's Networking on the Iomega NAS 200d,
and it charted some comparisons on write speed amongst several other
NAS units. I noticed the Tritton unit (same as Argosy) comes in
third--and the Iomega and the second place charter (Synopsis, or
something like that--Canadian and Euro only, it seems), barely beat
out the Tritton/Argosy. I would like to say I thought a previous
review from Tom's shot down the performance on the unit, but it looks
like they re-tested. I am now very happy I got the cheapest and
fastest unit.

I can't wait until they make it faster, if possible!

Oh, I looked at their read chart, and they are pretty low still, but I
think write perfomance is more important--I am BACKING up files and
STORING files, and reading them is not a big thing for me all the
time.

:evil:

The product is immature. I've been debugging it for months and
unfortunately I purchased it from an technically challenged and
obnoxious ebay supplier. I flashed the beta firmware and noted that I
needed to format the disk for it to be used. But of course formatting
is not really formatting, perhaps just an initialization of the FAT ?
The firmware corrupts outlook pst files and times out after copying
many small files and before it times out the copies get real slow.
But more good news, the end user documentation leaves a lot to be
desired. I'd like to know what the telnet commands do and where they
were programmed (somewhere in China ? using what standards). I have a
linksys 54G network, about 5 active PC's and the drive is connected
directly to the router. Stay away from this product.

Using the latest firmware my device appears to behave itself, with
250GB Maxtor 16M drive

Using Beyond Compare does improve things, although I'd still like t
see what other softare people use successfully

I have no timeouts copying files, or noticed any corruption

Hi

I`ve been following the comments here and was wondering how users ar
finding the quality of the BETA firmware? Any issues worth noting

I`m in the market for a low cost NAS box so that I can use it t
automatically backup my Win2K box which itself is being used t
backup my other PC`s on my home network. Because what I`m backing u
is so important, I would like to build in redundant backups with thi
HD363N being one of two backup services

I was almost ready to throw in the towel on my HD363N+300GB Seagate
since connecting clients via 802.11g wireless is my only option.
Stock firmware, 04-0317 and 05-0607 versions all caused mid copy
stalls.

fixuser's beta firmware has stabilized
things so I'm writing a 3 GB video file now without a problem. Write
performance could be better. How are others measuring throughput?

Thanks for the firmware, [b:3e6d34fff6]fixuser [/b:3e6d34fff6].

Connected via Linksys WRT54G running Sveasoft Talisman 1.05.
