Never mind my request for someone to verify the issue with moving
directories / multiple files from the NAS to a PC ... Tritton has
verified the issue and continuing to look into root cause.
Sorry, been offline a few days or I'd have tried it. Looks like
things are moving forward with this though, which is great.

BTW: Do we think that the Argosy/Tritton device uses SAMBA at all? It
looks like a completely different CIFS/SMB implementation. Perhaps
people are using "SAMBA" when they mean to say "SMB" instead?

I'm not trying to be anal-retentive here, just trying to keep things
straight for myself. The Tritton manual (PDF at their site)
does mention "Samba server" so perhaps
they are using source from Samba?

Oh well, doesn't matter a whole lot anyway.

For anyone interested, Tom's Networking reviewed the
LaCie
Ethernet Disk mini , and has performance comparisons including
the Tritton SimpleNAS ... which compares well.

I'm still curious to see reviews of two other devices, the Western
Digital NetCenter and Netgear SC101. Not that I'm expecteing I'll
replace my Tritton/Argosy unit with either of these, just curious to
see their capabilities.

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to test/verify an issue I'm
having with moving directories from the NAS to a PC. Tritton has
tried some test cases on their own, but is not able to reproduce my
reported issue. Thus, I have given them the step-by-step outline
below that is repeatable on my setup. Will someone be willing try
this with the Tritton 06-0804 firmware (or the Argosy firmware of the
save version, I found the same problem with both firmwares)?

Although I haven't tried to reproduce your specific issue. I've
encountered a similiar problem when trying to copy my MP3's off my
NAS onto my PC. After copying around a 1Gig of files, the transfer
hangs up. This is very irritating since I have a large mp3
collection on my NAS (approx 80gig). Also I'm performing this
operation over a wired network.

This happened to me until I upgraded the firmware to a more recent version. But with the latest the NAS will still go teats up if I try to copy more than one file at a time to it - and I have to reboot it every couple days anyways. I was hoping to use it for live storage of my email databases so I can access them from both my laptop and my desktop but the files end up corrupted when it dies if I try to add new email to them via my email program. With an early firmware it created an empty directory over the one I had just moved a bunch of video files to as I was moving another file into that directory and I lost them all :-( but it hasn't done that again since upgraded the firmware. I sure wish they could get the firmware to work better!
