2-BAY SATA NETWORK STORAGE ENCLOSURE

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

. This feature is highly convenient as it 

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.

* SATA drives are not included with the DNS-323 and must be purchased separately.
