ady for access locally or over the Internet. This will allow you to benefit from the new high performance SATA technology, enabling you to back up important documents or play photo, music and video collections via a Media Player, at an affordable cost. 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure enables users at home or in the office to share documents such as music, photos and videos across the network and on the Internet, so family members, friends, or employees can gain access to them. In the office, this enclosure also provides a central network point to back up valuable files and protect them from drive failure by using the built-in RAID 1 mirroring technology. At home, this device can be used to stream music, photos and videos to UPnP AV compatible network media players. Convenience, Performance and Flexibility The DNS-323 allows for up to two 3.5” SATA hard drives of any capacity2. Tools or cables are not required to install the hard drive(s), simplifying the setup process significantly. Four different hard drive modes are available, allowing users and administrators to choose the configuration best suited to their needs: Standard mode: creates two separately accessible hard drives JBOD: combines both drives in a linear fashion for maximum space efficiency RAID 0: combines both drives in a “striped” configuration, which provides the highest performance, enabling speeds of up to 23MBps-read and 15MBps-write (184/120Mbps respectively) when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection3 RAID 1: makes the drives mirror each other, for back-up purposes. 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 In addition, the DNS-323 includes a USB Print Server for printing from any computer on the network and a fan to prevent overheating.
