I had a DNS-323 and it was fine. The only issue I had was the fan was small and therefore noisy.
I lost a drive in it once, and when WD sent the replacement, the NAS rebuilt itself just fine with no problems.. I currently have a pair of Netgear NAS Duo's with 1 terabyte drives. Faster than the DNS-323, quieter, and came with 3 year warranties, which ain't bad. They are hot swap by the way, with pull out drive trays very easy to get to. I stream audio off one and movies off the other. They both work great for that.. http://www.netgear.com/Products/Storage/StorageWorkandPlay/RND2000.aspx http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822122029 The diskless one retails for 250, but can be had for less. I think I gave Newegg 199 for my last one? Add a couple terabyte drives and off you go. They have a new Ultra series coming out too that I have not really checked on yet, since mine do all I need them to do.. These things do act as print servers too if you need that, just plug in a USB printer and you are good to go.. On Jul 17, 2010, at 5:27 AM, Anthony Q. Martin wrote: > Strictly for home use.
