Section 1 - Product Overview Product Overview Introduction The D-Link ShareCenter® DNS-320 2-Bay Network Storage, when used with internal SATA drives, enables you to share documents, files, and 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 and Web File 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 ShareCenter®, 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 ShareCenter® will be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based) on your network, without the need to install any software on the computer. Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the ShareCenter® for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benefits of the built-in DLNA Certified™ media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players (such as the D-Link's Boxee Box). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the same function. The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1) 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 ShareCenter® 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. D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320 User Manual 1
