±1±: Best Buy I bought several of these for my extended relatives for protecting their personal photos, video, and music. I also bought it to change the way they send emails. As a RAID-1 NAS device, it delivers the protection that is so badly missing in every household. Combined with a web backup service, this device lets them sleep at night knowing that they have a RAID protected copy of data locally as well as another copy of data off site.
The setup of the DNS-321 is simple and it's integration with both Windows and Linux systems is easy. I didn't even use included Windows client, just a web browser is all you need to set things up. After setting my RAID, SMB, and NFS configurations, the NAS volume was easy to mount from every machine on my network. I tested these devices at my house using Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux before deploying them to my relatives, who had pretty much a Windows XP environment. They can be setup for DHCP or static IP, and because I am using them as webservers as well, I set them up as a static IP. This is a Linux based system and you can choose between EXT2 and EXT3 filesystems. I set mine up as EXT3 due to its improved resiliency. I also set it up to email me when certain events occur, such as disk failure, RAID-rebuild is complete, or volume is full. So when a problem occurs, I get an email to tell me that some action is required. I can remotely log into the DNS-321 using some of the hackable features, such as SSH to check things out.
Another goal I had with this device was a way to eliminate my family sending large attachments, such as photos and pdf documents. Since the DNS-321 and it's predecessor (DNS-323) have a cult following for hacking it for other functionality, it was easy to extend this Linux-based storage device into being a Lighttpd web server. I was able to easily configure it as a mail server, ssh server, and web server, with my favorite languages, such as PHP and python. So now my family emails web-links to files stored on the DNS-321, instead of fat email attachments, keeping their email "sent" boxes and their recipients "in" boxes from getting huge.
I think every household needs some kind of RAID protection and with the low price-point of the DNS-321, it was a no-brainer to buy this device. The flexibility of this device to also be a personal web-server for each of my relatives at their homes, also offered some added benefits that I've always wanted.
I totally recommend this product for anyone to use... geek or not. on Sale!
