Easy to set up Dec 01, 2008
I am moderately network savvy and needed a NAS storage device with RAID for my small business environment. The D-Link NAS is a nicely made enclosure and setup really was painless. I added two drives from the local computer store, plugged it in and set up the basic parameters according to the instructions. No real problems. I still haven't delved into all of the more sophisticated features. In general, I would say that the manual could have been a little more verbose. The scheduled backup feature (which I use for nightly backups) works, but is very unsophisticated. That said, this drive could easily be combined with more sophisticated backup software. In short, seems a good reasonably priced solution for fail-safe storage for my small business.

Do Not Buy This Item Oct 26, 2008
This product has many bugs. Even if you upgrade to the newest firmware (version 1.5), it still has issues. The USB Print server does not work on either of my new all-in-one HP USB printers. I spent two full days. I have over 20 years development experience with windows, networks, firmware, and networking. I had to waste my time returning it...

I also 'tried' for two hours to contact dlink support, but they never answered the phone.

The Dlink DP-301P+ works excellent, and I set it up on three computers in under 10 minutes.

I love this thing! Oct 24, 2008
This is a great backup/redundancy device. I bought this to backup my 100 gigs of photos with redundancy (RAID 1). The startup is quite fast. You can hear the drives spin up. Sharing this on the network using the D-Link DIR-625 was a breeze to setup. The software for the drive is excellent. The price was great too. I was looking at many different NAS devices, and the DNS-323 gives you the best with the lowest cost.

I just want to praise Amazon's customer service. My first unit arrived DOA. They replaced it with no questions asked. The second one came in about 3 days, and it works beautifully!

Great speed, quiet - overall VERY Pleased Oct 23, 2008
I purchased this along with 2 X Seagate ST31000340AS 1TB Barracuda Sata 7200 Rpm 32MB Cache 8.5MS Hard Drive
to create a 1TB Mirrored system.
Wow- am I impressed with the speed. Maybe I was used to my old NAS that was that slow, but I am really impressed with the speed.

Set up was really easy, but when I was copying 400 Gig to it- it got HOT. I kept a fan on it over night to make sure it did not to hot. Normal operation, everything seems nice and cool. We will have to see how time goes on.

Overall - this is a great system and met my needs perfectly.
