AudioRequest – 500 gig Request Replacement Hard Drive WITH INTERNET RADIO and NAS SUPPORT!

This is the LAST 500 unit I have, so it's your last chance to size up and add features to your ARQ!

Don’t scrap that ARQ because the drive is bad or full! Upgrade to more space and STREAMING INTERNET RADIO and NETWORK STORAGE! Plus get the GREAT WEB view, editing, and control service, all built in with OS 6x! (see screen shots in photos).

This is a 500 Gigabyte hard drive with ARQ operating systems freshly auto-updated in a running ARQ to Serious Play version 6.4.24681, with the extra-cost option of STREAMING RADIO (60,000 stations!) and NAS (external network drive storage) support enabled in the drive. These options alone cost $400, without a drive... from REQUEST. Even the 500 GB IDE Bare Drives, empty, cost more than $150 today if you can find any. And you CAN'T use an empty drive, the ARQ system is required and is copy-protected!

For testing, a very large library of over 40,000 songs of every genre, in high quality FLAC and MP3 formats, has been installed, as well as some sample stream sites and stations. The drive was then test played for more than 100 hours. You can delete this library after your own testing. Comes with detailed instructions for selecting internet radio stations as favorites.

EVERY DRIVE IS RE-TESTED BEFORE SHIPPING AND GUARANTEED!

This 500 gig IDE drive is in the high quality aluminum case that slides into your ARQ. Unscrew the two exposed front plate thumb screws and remove the cover to see the drive. With the POWER OFF, use the key you find inside to unlock the tray, pull it out, put in the new one, and lock it to connect it... then power it up, and you're done!

Works in AudioRequest models N and F units with serial numbers from ARQ35xxx through ARQ49xxx. Will NOT work in older units with earlier (lower) serial numbers. (But if you need older style drives, ask, we have a few older ones too!) Will NOT work in new series F3 units that no longer use this IDE drive style. SEE THE CHART IN THE PHOTOS - Easy way to tell - This V.6x drive works in any ARQ model that has component video. They will not boot in earlier models, identifiable by lacking component video output, nor in late models using non-removable drives. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT ME FIRST.

We have a few other sizes and vintages. If you want more than one or a different model, ASK SELLER A QUESTION with the link below, and include your requirements. IF YOU THINK YOUR ARQ MAY BE DEFECTIVE, CONTACT ME FIRST, WE CAN HELP YOU TEST IT BEFORE YOU BUY, AND WE MAY HAVE A SOLUTION!

Ask for what you need using the ASK A QUESTION link below, we probably can help you! (We also have some ReQuest parts inventory and years of service experience with the REQUEST products!)

SERVICE HINT FOR ARQ OWNERS: The coin-battery on the motherboard will fail after years of use or storage... replace it to cure "can't boot/can't turn off" problems with your ARQ! It's a $1 model 2032 battery in most units and snaps into a holder inside the unit. Worth a try!
