1TB OF STORAGE WITH EXTRA ROOM TO GROW
The D-Link® 1TB ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Network Storage (DNS-323-1TB) comes with one 1TB SATA hard drive¹ - plenty of space to store up to 320,000 digital photos, 16,660 hours of digital music, or 250 two-hour DVD-quality movies². The DNS-323-1TB is expandable and has room for an additional 3.5” hard drive¹ to support your growing storage needs. Adding a drive is a breeze with the D-Link tool-less design.

STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPnP™ AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS
The DNS-323-1TB includes the latest BitTorrent software support so you can access and store digital media from the Internet without the need for a dedicated PC to be turned on or connected. The DNS-323-1TB connects directly to your home or office network and acts as a media hub for BitTorrent-enabled content. The DNS-323-1TB also acts as a UPnP™ AV media server³ that streams media to a compatible player such as the PlayStation® 3, Microsoft® Xbox 360™, or a media player from the D-Link MediaLounge™ product line.

PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE AND FLEXBILITY
Utilizing Standard, JBOD, and RAID technology, the DNS-323-1TB (with an additional drive installed) is the ultimate in network data storage by providing you with a variety of data protection options to help avoid data loss due to hard drive failure¹. 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, 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 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.

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT
The included backup software allows you to set schedules and rules including real-time full or incremental backups and storage quotas for specific users and groups. The software also allows you to automatically back up data onto the DNS-323-1TB, creating a failsafe protection solution from accidental data loss on your PC. The DNS-323-1TB features a built-in FTP server⁴ to access files over the Internet, enabling you to manage your files from virtually anywhere in the world.

PRINT SERVER and UPS MONITORING
The DNS-323-1TB includes print server functionality – just connect a USB printer to share within your network. This eliminates the need for a dedicated computer to host a shared printer. Alternatively, the USB port can also be used by a compatible Universal Power Supply (UPS) that supports "smart" signaling over a USB connection. If a power outage were to occur, the compatible UPS can safely shutdown the DNS-323-1TB before power is completely lost. When power is restored, the UPS would then automatically power up⁵ the DNS-323-1TB.

FTP AND UPnP AV MEDIA SERVER
For convenience, the DNS-323-1TB includes a built-in FTP server⁴ to access files over the Internet, allowing you to download or upload files when travelling. It also has a UPnP™ AV media server³ to stream digital content to compatible media players, which effectively eliminates the need to power up a dedicated PC media server.

D-LINK GREEN™
With D-Link Green, the DNS-323-1TB uses up to 50% less energy*
* Maximum power savings achieved when hard drive is in sleep mode and when compared to a DNS-323-1TB with Hard Drive Power Management disabled.

Conserving Energy

• Hard Drive Power Management: Hard drive(s) go into sleep mode when there is no device activity
• Smart Fan: Fan shuts down or adjusts speed based on system temperature.
• High efficiency power adapter to help reduce power consumption.

• Complies with the European Union’s RoHS directive that restricts the use of certain harzardous materials
• Uses recyclable packaging to help reduce waste that goes into the environment.

<sup>1. One 1TB 3.5” SATA hard drive included. When referring to hard drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB equals one billion bytes and one terabyte or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and thus will not be available for data storage. The internal SATA drive must be formatted before use. RAID 0 or 1 requires two (2) 3.5” SATA drives. To avoid data incompatibility in RAID 0 or 1 operation, use SATA drives from the same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1 operation is dependent on the drive capacity of the lowest-sized drive. May not work with older generation SATA drives.
2. Examples of the number of photos, songs, videos and any other files that can be stored on a hard drive are provided for illustrative purposes only. Your results will vary based on file size and format, settings, features, software and other factors.
3. D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback compatibility depends on the codec support of the UPnP™ AV media player.
4. Unless additional precautions are taken, use of an FTP Server to access files over the Internet does not provide for secure or encrypted transmissions. It is recommended that the end-user utilize a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to establish a secure FTP session.
5. Power up function works with firmware v1.02 or above.</sup>
