SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET

The DNS-323 2-Bay SATA Network Storage Enclosure, when used with internal SATA drives*, enables users to share documents, files, and digital media such
as music, photos, and video with everyone on a home or office network. Remotely accessing files through the Internet is also possible with the built-in secure
FTP/SSL server. Whether allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups and assigning 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
children’s access can be restricted to only age-appropriate materials.

STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT WITH BUILT IN MEDIA SERVER

After backing up your digital media files to the DNS-323 for safekeeping, enjoy the benefits of the built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content
to compatible media players such as the PlayStation®3, Microsoft® Xbox 360™, and D-Link’s MediaLounge product line
allows you to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the same function.

DOWNLOAD AND MANAGE YOUR TORRENTS

The DNS-323 features a built-in, officially licensed BitTorrent™ client that lets you download files without even switching on a computer. Users can configure
their torrents, port settings, bandwidth management and seeding options in the web-based manager. Adding torrents to your download list is easy; simply
upload the torrent or enter its web address and you’re ready to go.

PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY

The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1) allows users to choose the configuration best suited to their needs. Standard
mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives to create a single, easy to use volume. RAID 0 combines both drives in a
“striped” configuration, which provides the highest performance, enabling speeds up to 184Mbps-read and 120Mbps-write when using a Gigabit Ethernet
connection. RAID 1 creates a copy of your data on both drives, providing maximum protection; if one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive
continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be remirrored, allowing the DNS-323 to return to its full level of
protection.

DNS-323-500GB - BACK UP AND SHARE DIGITAL FILES

WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES

The DNS-323 2-Bay SATA Network Storage Enclosure,

when used with internal SATA drives, enables homes and

offices to share documents, music, photos, and videos

across the network and on the Internet so family members,

friends, or employees can access them. This enclosure

also allows for the creation of a central network point for

backing up valuable files and the built-in RAID 1 mirroring

technology protects these files from drive failure. This

device can be used to stream music, photos, and videos to

UPnP AV compatible network media players.

ROBUST SOFTWARE INCLUDED

The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility,

which allows users to locate the DNS-323 anywhere on

the network. Once located, they can use the utility to map

the hard drive(s) so they will appear in “My Computer”

on their PC. Backup software is also included on the CD,

allowing the backup of valuable files from a computer to

the DNS-323 manually, according to schedule, or in real-

time. Real-time backups are a great way to safeguard

against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss

of precious files.

MIRRORING HARD DRIVES WITH RAID 1
TECHNOLOGY

Backing up to a regular hard drive offers a basic level of protection. But what if that hard

drive fails? Using the DNS-323 with two internal SATA drives and RAID 1 technology,

users can mirror the two drives (i.e. duplicate data on both drives), ensuring maximum

protection of valuable data. If one drive fails, the other continues to function as a single

drive until the failed drive is replaced.

D-LINK GREEN™

For consumers interested in reducing their energy costs and helping to save the

environment, D-Link Green™ products provide eco-friendly alternatives without

compromising performance. This device uses hard drive power management and

Smart Fan speed control to not only reduce energy costs and noise but also to prolong

the lifespan of your hard drives.

500GB Harddrive included. 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 lowest­sized 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 support websites.

D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback

capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP AV media player.

Maximum HDD capacity supported may increase in future depending on advances in SATA
technology.
