description

The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure, when used with internal SATA drives, enables you to share documents, files, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or office network. Remotely accessing files through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups. When configuring the DNS-323, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an office environment with employee-specific sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have access to age appropriate material.

Excellent Enclosure
Reviewed by Sebastian Bettley. Review Posted 02/04/2008

I have had one of these for nearly a year now, and apart from some early glitches it has never let me down. I use with Linux and XP via CIFS. It has 2 500GB WD drives configured as RAID 1. Both the iTunes and Ftp servers work like a dream. Early problems in accessing in windows where drive kept disappearing from the network. This was solved by 1. editing windows>system32>drivers>etc>hosts to add the host name and IP address of the DNS323 and 2. binding the DNS 323's MAC address to an IP address. Some routers call this assigning a static IP address. No problems since I did this. I updated to firmware 1.03.

great after firmware update
Reviewed by R York. Review Posted 25/01/2008

I had some initial problems with this drive, it used to hang and randomly corrupt file locations so you couldn't delete them. But after the firmware update it's been 100%.

Excellent Product
Reviewed by Colin. Review Posted 14/11/2007

I have now had one of these running for over 3 months with 2 Seagate 750 gig drives. Runs near silently if stood on some foam. Has performed without a hitch, even after a couple of powercuts.
Now beginning to look expensive compared to other options, however having experienced failures from both Maxtor and Buffalo NAS drives(one did a self test and pronounced itself dead, the other defaulted its menu to Japanese and could not be sorted by the on-line help) I will stick with self build.
