Product Overview - D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320 User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview
SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET
The D-Link DNS-320 2-Bay Network Storage, when used with internal SATA drives
digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or office network. Remotely accessing files through
the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep
data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups. When configuring the DNS-320, you can create users and groups
and assign 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 you can ensure your children
will only have access to age appropriate material. The DNS-320 will be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based) on
your network, without the need to install any software on the computer.
STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPnP AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS
Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-320 for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benefits of the built-in UPnP
AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players
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.
PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the configuration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear
fashion for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a 'striped' configuration, which provides the highest
performance when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, 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 re-mirrored, allowing the DNS-320 to return to its full protection.
1 Hard Drive(s) not included.
2 D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP™ AV media player.
