This Network Storage Enclosure enables users at home or in the office to share files across the network and over the Internet via the built-in FTP server. Connected to your router, it also provides a invaluable back-up of your files in case of system failure or virus damage to your computer. Back-up software is included with the product.
The DNS-313 accommodates one 3.5" SATA hard drives of any capacity (HD not included). Tools or cables are not required for setup. Simply slide the front cover, insert the drive and slide the front cover back.
Content stored on the DNS-313 can be streamed to compatible media players, such as those found in D-Link's MediaLounge product line. That is done by the built-in UPnP AV media server, and this does not require a computer to be turned on.
The DNS-313 also features an iTunes Server. When enabled, the DNS-313 will be automatically detected in the iTunes program, which means the software will be able to find and play music directly from the DNS-313.
The DNS-313 also includes a Gigabit port for better transfer speeds and power-saving features. It can also be used as Direct Attached Storage (DAS) via a USB connection.

DNS-313
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 18/01/2008
Purchased a DNS-313 along with a Samsung Spinpoint T166 400GB 7200RPM S300 8MB, installation onto my network was a painless procedure and was done in less than 10 mins.
I have a few issues though, though there is a feature to power the drive down, it doesn't it constantly spins while the DNS-313 is powered.
The DNS-313 fan goes constantly unless product is unplugged from the mains.
The Memeo Autobackup software doesn't work, I suggest using XXcopy and creating a batch file to do the job.

Questionable Reliability and Performance
Reviewed by HaggardPete. Review Posted 17/09/2008
I have owned this unit for around 4 months now. As supplied the unit was pretty much unusable returning read/write failures where more than a few hundred files were copied. Eventually a firmware fix resolved most of these issues though copying large numbers of files from/to the device is still a bit problematic. The firmware update also fixed an issue where the unit did not go to standby. Another problem which the firmware has failed to resolve is performance. On our 1 Gbyte network copying a 3.5Gbyte test file to another workstation takes about 1 minute 20 seconds. Copying to the DNS313 takes around 11 minutes Given the performance and more importantly the reliability issues I would look for something other than the DNS313 Note for DABS sales – a number of negative reviews including my own seem to have disappeared from this item. In the interests of balance please try and find them
