Thumbs up D-Link 2-Bay NAS Gigabit Raid 0/1 DNS-321/323 for $128/$91 AR Shipped at Amazon.com


$128 AR D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure

$91 AR D-Link DNS321 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure

Perfect little enclosure for a simple 2-HDD NAS. It's great for backing things up across your network, sure beats lugging around a USB hard drive. It's energy efficient and quiet. Works fast and is really easy to set up. Perfect for backing up your data.

Before moving to a custom build, I had a 323 and it was really easy to use. UPnP supports the PS3 or Xbox 360. They both support gigabit and work with up to 1.5TB HDDs last I checked. I'm sure they may even work with the WD 2TBs but it may take a simple firmware update for that. D-Link though still supports this machine with new firmware and you can even hack it with linux and other apps.

The difference between the 323 and 321 models is the usb print server and ability to torrent. Other than that, it's identical. See these two reviews for more info.

Small netbuilder's review on the 323 and 321.

This is a great deal. I have the 321 and love it. I can do video conversions over the wire as though it was on my local hard drive. Very sweet, may have to pick up another one.

Great to hear it, it's an excellent deal with all the hard drive deals lately.

Are you using it as RAID 1, RAID 0, or either? I was thinking about getting the 323 for backup (RAID 1) and also to have streaming to my xbox360. Do you think this would adequately fill those needs?

I have also seen some comments about people not being able to recover properly from a disk failure in RAID 1. That's a big worry of mine.

Did you read the SNB review?

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/conte.../29671/75/1/4/

Highlights some media features, although prior to that firmware for the 360/ps3.

I used mine in RAID1, and it worked fine. I never recovered anything though.

It works according to SNB, see here: (it also emails you too!)
