I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to comment on how well this device works.
I purchased this to share data with my family over my home network. During my research, I discovered the FTP server functionality. I was skeptical, but spent a little time on D-Link's DLinkTV site in their support section. If you search for episodes 4 (port forwarding) and 7 (DNS-323 FTP Server Setup), you should have no problems setting up the FTP function. I went one step further by creating users and groups in my setup so there would be a required logon, eliminating any anonomous longons.
The only CON I can think of is that the hard drives go to sleep after some pre-determined time and when you access data from them after they have been 'asleep', it can take about 30 seconds for them to come back online. While this is a little inconvenient when you're accessing data, it is nice to know when you're not using them (90+ % of the time) they are not spinning.
I have found the data transfer rate on my home network (gigabit components) to be quite well.
For the FTP download speeds from remote locations, you will find the limiting factor will be your upload speed via your service provider. If you are in a system with high upload bandwidth, you may find exceptional upload speeds.
Overall, I'm very happy with this device.
