Access your files from anywhere with D-Link's internet accessible network storage enclosure. The DNS-321 has a built in FTP server so you can log in anywhere you have an internet connection. Since it connects to your network with a Gigabit Ethernet connection you know your local network won't be the cause of slow data transfers.
Internally the enclosure has space for two 3.5" SATA hard drives of any currently available capacity. You can configure the drives for speed or data security. Standard mode allows you to access the drives individually while JBOD adds their capacity together linearly. RAID 0 stripes the drives together for maximum performance. For maximum protection RAID 1 mirrors the drives so you have two copies of the data.
The UPnP AV media server streams data to any connected media devices or computers. That way all the media is stored in one place and you don't have to worry about copying the files to each system. The D-Link Network Storage is a perfect way to store, share and safeguard all your files, do not miss it!
Gigabit Network ConnectionThe D-Link DNS-321 features a Gigabit Ethernet port for up to 10X the speed of most 100M network connections and excellent usability for office and home networks.
SATA HDD SupportThe D-Link DNS-321 features two SATA drive bays for easy installation and replacement of internal hard drives without using any tool or attaching any cable.
RAID FunctionThe D-Link DNS-321 supports RAID 0 for optimized hard disk throughput, RAID 1 for extra data security, and JBOD for enhanced capacity to store more videos, movies and photos.
Built-in FTP Server FunctionThe D-Link DNS-321 features an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server function for convenient high-speed file transfer.
Built-in UPnP AV Media ServerWith built-in UPnP AV media server, the D-Link DNS-321 streams media files to compatible network media players without the need for a dedicated computer.

Pros: I have two DNS-321 units each with two Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB drives config'd as RAID1. I'm using them as 'Backup-to-disk folders' in Backup Exec, rotating one of them off-site each week. Physicall installation was very simple and the LAN setup required going through a straightforward html based wizard which took about five minutes. There are other features (ftp hosting, iTunes, quotas, user permissions, etc.) that I'm not using, but as a RAID1 redundant external hard drive I'm plased.
Cons: The Seagate drives I'm using are listed on the D-Link website as being recommended, but they are slimmer than the drive bays in the DNS-321. I used a piece of the packing foam to keep the drives from rattling around in the enclosure. Not that big of a deal, but a spring or clip of some sort provided by d-link would be better than my foam hack-job.
