Re: Argosy HD-363N

I was thinking about plugging the HD directly into the IDE bus on my
PC.  I'm just afraid that this device will die on me and my data (a
abckup, but still) will be locked in some proprietary file system format.

In any case, I ordered one.  If the device doesn't work with the AudioTron I'll use it to backup my music server.  I've been meaning to do that anyway.  I'll report my findings back to the group.

>>I know that several hard drive enclosures have been discussed as working with the audiotron but has anyone tried the Argosy?  I have posted a link to it.  What I like about it is that the hard drive actually fits inside the case instead of having to attach via usb.  One less power cord with this one.  I appreciate your comments.
