SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET
The D-Link® 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-323) when used with two internal 3.5” SATA drives1
enables you to share documents, files, and digital media such as music,
photos, and video with everyone on your home or office network. With
the built-in FTP server3, you can access your files remotely
over the Internet from anywhere in the world and 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. With the built-in USB
print server port, you can add a USB printer to your network without a
dedicated computer so anyone can print from anywhere on the network.

STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPnP™ AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS
The DNS-323 includes the latest BitTorrent® software support so you can
access and store digital media from the Internet without the need for a
dedicated PC to be turned on or connected. The DNS-323 connects
directly to your home or office network and acts as a media hub for
BitTorrent-enabled content. The DNS-323 also acts as an UPnP™ AV media
server that streams media to a compatible player (such as those found
in D-Link's MediaLounge™ product line).
PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
Four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) enable
you to choose the configuration best suited to your needs. Standard
mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both
drives in linear fashion for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0 combines
both drives in a 'striped' configuration, which provides the highest
performance. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing
maximum protection. If one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the
unaffected drive continues as a single drive until the failed drive is
replaced. The new drive will then be remirrored, returning full
protection to both drives after it has been mirrored.
SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT
The DNS-323 can automatically back up your data regardless of your
computer's operating system (Windows®, Mac®, or Linux®). For Windows
users, the included feature-rich Memeo AutoBackup™ software can help
you create schedules and rules including real-time full or incremental
backups and storage quotas for specific users and groups. The DNS-323
also features a built-in FTP server3 to access files through the Internet, enabling you to manage your files from anywhere in the world.
The 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-323) is a high performance,
cost-effective solution that provides protection, performance, and
flexibility along with simplified management and gigabit connectivity,
perfect for your home and small business data storage needs.
WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES
The D-Link 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-323) when used with internal SATA drives1
enables you to share documents, music, photos, and video across the
network and on the Internet so family members, friends, or employees
can access them. This network storage enclosure creates a central
network point for backing up valuable files and the built-in RAID 1
mirroring technology1 protects these files from drive
failure. You can also use this device to stream photos, music, and
videos to UPnP AV compatible network media players4.
ROBUST SOFTWARE INCLUDED
The included CD contains the D-Link Easy Search Utility. This utility
allows access to the DNS-323 from anywhere on the network. The Memeo
Autobackup™ software is also included. You can backup valuable files
from a computer to the DNS-323 in real-time, manually or on a schedule.
Real-time backups are a great way to safeguard against unfortunate
accidents that may result in the loss of precious files.
1. Hard Drive(s) not included. An internal SATA drive
is required to store or share your files; drive must be formatted
before use.
2. RAID 1 mirroring requires the use of two (2) internal SATA drives.
To avoid data incompatibility in RAID 1 operation, use SATA drives from
the same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1 operation is
dependant on the drive capacity of the lowest-sized drive. May not work
with older generation SATA drives. For a list of SATA drives that have
been tested to work with the DNS-323, visit
D-Link Tech Support site.
3. Unless additional precautions are taken, use of an FTP Server to
access files over the Internet does not provide for secure or encrypted
transmissions. It is recommended that the end-user utilize a Virtual
Private Network (VPN) to establish a secure FTP session.
4. D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with
all codecs. Playback compatibility depends on the codec support of the
UPnP™ AV media player.
