D-Link DNS-343 NAS Enclosure 
D-Link DNS-343 NAS Enclosure
|
D-Link DNS-343 NAS This is a NAS solution that supports RAID 0, 1, or 5 and has four SATA bays.
It does not come with any disks but this makes it ideal so you can get
exactly what you want in terms of hard drives. The D-Link� 4-Bay Network
Storage Enclosure (DNS-343) is the perfect way to store, share, and safeguard
your documents, music, videos, and photos. With the D-Link tool-less
installation, you can easily insert up to 4 SATA drives without any tools or
attaching any cables. Plus, the DNS-343 is a scalable solution, allowing you to
start off with one SATA hard disk drive (HDD) and add up to 3 more as you grow.
By supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and JBOD, the DNS-343 gives you a variety of data
protection options to help avoid data loss due to hard drive failure. RAID 0
combines all drives in a �striped� configuration, splitting data evenly across
the hard drives to provide the highest performance. RAID 1 causes two drives to
mirror each other, providing maximum protection. If there are four drives
present, you can set up two separate RAID 1 partitions. If one drive fails, the
unaffected drive in the partition will continue to operate normally. Once you
replace the failed drive, RAID 1 mirroring will resume and both drives will
mirror each other again. Advanced RAID 5 offers the highest performance with the
most reliable data recovery in the case of a drive failure. RAID 5 technology
uses a clever algorithm to distribute your data over 4 SATA hard disk drives
and, in the case of a hard drive failure, the DNS-343 will continue to function
with your data intact. Its USB port can act as a print server port, allowing a
USB printer to be added to your network without the need for a dedicated
computer. The USB port can also support a Universal Power Supply (UPS) monitor
that supports �smart� signaling over a USB connection. If a power outage were to
occur, the compatible UPS monitor would allow the UPS unit to safely shut down
the DNS-343. When power is restored, the UPS monitor would then automatically
power up the DNS-343.

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 drives 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.
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.
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.

because its drive bays are hot-swappable and feature auto-rebuild, you
can change a hard disk without powering down the unit. The Thecus N0204
miniNAS Enclosure even comes with Thecus� Nsync for remote replication
as well as the Thecus Backup Utility for total data security. With huge
storage, RAID functionality, and advanced data safeguards packed into a
tiny device, the N0204 is in a class all its own. The
Thecus
N0204 miniNAS Enclosure features a hyper-efficient design, which
consumes only 25-30% of the power compared to a regular two-bay NAS
device, which means you'll not only save money - you'll be saving the
environment at the same time. |

Powered by the AMD Geode� LX800 processor and 256MB of DDR400 memory, the N4100PRO delivers the raw horsepower required to transfer files quickly and efficiently. With updated hardware and a ton of performance improvements, the data transfer speed of N4100PRO doubles that of the original N4100! Four 3.5" SATA hard disk bays enable up to 4TB of storage, and users can manage this space with an updated list of RAID mode selections, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD.
The N4100PRO also offers advanced RAID management features, including RAID expansion and RAID level migration for ultimate flexibility. To top it off, the N4100PRO comes equipped with a big, bright LCM module, which displays useful status messages such as IP address, date and time, and RAID status, making it easy for users to keep an eye on the condition of their N4100PRO. With features like these, the N4100PRO is easier to manage than ever.
Of course, raw performance is nothing without reliability, and the N4100PRO delivers this in spades. On the back of the N4100PRO are two Gigabit Ethernet ports that come with network bonding in fail over mode. With this feature, the N4100PRO can automatically switch to its second Gigabit Ethernet port should the first one fail for any reason.
