D-Link DNS-321 Network Attached Storage Enclosure
The D-Link 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-321) is the perfect way to store, share, and safeguard your documents, music, videos, and photos. With the D-Link tool-less installation, easily insert up to two SATA drives1 without any tools or attaching any cables. Additionally, the built-in UPnP™ AV media server enables streaming of digital content to compatible network media players (such as those found in the D-Link MediaLounge™ product line) as well as popular media player applications used in computers.
Protection And Performance
The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1) allows you to choose the configuration best suited for your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both hard drives into one for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0 combines all drives in a ‘striped’ configuration, splitting data evenly across the hard disk drives to provide the highest performance, while RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum protection. If one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive will continue to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced.
Simplified Management
With the included feature-rich Memeo™ software, you can create schedules and rules including real-time full or incremental backups. The Web-based configuration software allows users to establish storage quotas for specific users and groups. The DNS-321 can automatically back up your data regardless of the Operating System (OS) of your computer (Windows®, Mac®, or Linux®). The DNS-321 also features a built-in FTP server to access files through the Internet.
With its sleek design and quiet cooling fans, the DNS-321 can be easily placed on your desk at home or in the office. Utilizing SATA hard drives and gigabit connectivity, the 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-321) is a high performance, cost-effective solution for your home or small office data storage needs.

I bought the DNS 321 in Dec. I put in one 1TB Seagate HD. The setup was a breeze. I just plugged it into my Router and ran the setup utility CD. Then I just mapped a network drive on each of my computers (A PC running XP and a laptop running Win7). No problems with accessing the drive from within my netowrk.
The one thing I have not been able to do is the FTP, but this is not a fault of the device. I can do the FTP within my network, but can't access it yet outside. I am sure it is just some port setting I am missing.
overall, I highly recommend this product.
an easy and affordable ''home server'' solution

I was looking into some ''home server'' units by other companies. The DNS-321 provides all the basic features that I needed for my Apple computers (still working out the Time Machine backup solution). The administrative features are great for inexperienced users and for the power users out there, the box is easily hackable so you can add even more features. Very happy with my purchase and the support provided by D-Link.
