Section 1 - Product OverviewIntroductionThe D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure shares your documents, photos, music, and videos acrossthe network and on the Internet (via FTP server) so family members, friends, or employees can access them. Thisenclosure, which can hold two 3.5” SATA hard drives of any capacity1, creates a central network point for backing upvaluable files. The built-in RAID 12 mirroring technology protects these files from drive failure. Other options such asStandard, JBOD, and RAID 0 are also available.The DNS-323 shares files over the Internet via the built-in FTP server3. Users and groups can be created and assignedto folders with either read or read/write permissions. Quotas can be set per user or group to restrict space usage.In addition, the DNS-323 can be used to stream photos, music, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network mediaplayers4.The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the DNS-323 on the networkand map drives to your computer. Backup software is also included on the CD. This software allows you to backupyour files from a computer to the DNS-323 manually, by a schedule, or in real-time. Real-time backups are a great wayto safeguard against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss of important files.Combining ease of use with practical, high performance features, the DNS-323 is an organized solution for any network.Free up disk space on computers and centralize data on your network with the DNS-323 2-Bay Network StorageEnclosure!1Hard Drive(s) not included.2RAID 1 mirroring requires the use of 2 internal SATA drives.3Note that use of an FTP Server to access files over the Internet does not provide for secure or encrypted transmissions.4D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs.
