Description

D-Link's 4TB ShareCenter™ 4-Bay Network Storage Device (DNS-343-4TB) is the perfect way to store, safeguard, and share your documents, music, videos, and photos with anyone in your network.

4TB of Storage

The DNS-343-4TB comes with four 1TB SATA hard drives - plenty of space to store up to 1,280,000 digital photos, 66,640 hours of digital music, or 1,000 two-hour DVD-quality movies.

Protection, Performance and Flexibility

By supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and JBOD, the DNS-343-4TB 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. You can also 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. RAID 5 offers the most capacity with reliable data recovery in the case of a drive failure. RAID 5 technology uses an algorithm to distribute data across 3 or 4 SATA hard disk drives and, in the case of a hard drive failure, the DNS-343-4TB will continue to function with your data intact.

Simplified Management

With the included backup software, you can create schedules and rules including real-time full or incremental backups and storage quotas for specific users and groups. Using backup software, you can automatically back up your data onto the DNS-343-4TB, creating a failsafe protection solution from accidental data loss on your PC. The 4-Bay Network Storage Device features an OLED to display important information including IP address, hard drive statistics, temperature, RAID status, and server status (FTP and UPnP™).

USB Port Functionality

The 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-343-4TB. When power is restored, the UPS monitor would then automatically power up the DNS-343-4TB.

For flexible usage, the DNS-343-4TB includes features such as a built-in FTP server to access files over the Internet and a UPnP™ Media server to stream digital content to compatible media players. With RAID 5 technology, an OLED that displays vital storage information, a management program that allows you to easily set rules and schedules, and a variety of built-in servers, the 4-Bay Network Storage Device (DNS-343-4TB) is a secure and reliable storage solution for the home and small businesses.
