D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320L NAS review
Servicing the lower-budget basic end of the NAS spectrum D-Link's ShareCenter does without many of the bells and whistles of its more expensive brethren. It's a two-bay NAS but the drives need a handle screwed on before they're slotted into the unit and it only supports 3.5-inch drives.

Hit and Miss but value for money
I bought this NAS hoping to make my media server easier and faster to manage and access. I had one hard disk and added another to make it RAID-0. But i made sure to back all data :( as NAS formats the drives. I added 2 1TB same make/model Seagate drives and then started copy and slept ....

Fast and so far reliable
Have had this hooked up to two PCs and is accessible from all my iDevices throughout the home, and so far works great. Did have some issues with Windows at first but, with some trickery through "symbolic links" was able to fool both Windows 7 and Windows 8 that "My Documents", "My Pictures", etc...

I had the DNS-320 drive for over 1 year since Boxing Week of 2012. It has been running very well. The reason I bought it because I had the DNS-325 which was a tad slower but has the same features as the DNS-320.
Pros:
- Does the job as a NAS to have RAID 0 running on two drives
Cons:
- Processor is slow
- so the data transfer is less than 20MB/s out of the drive

Affordable and useful but painfully loud
The price point is right on; however, don't rely on this unit for much more than media streaming and occasional remote access.
Pros:
- Easy on the wallet
- easy to set up and comes with simple and useful utilities
Cons:
- Slow- slow to come out of sleep mode, slow to transfer files
- Loud- the fan in this thing hums way louder than my desktop PC

Generally OK.
Like several other types of home clouds, the system falls down on backing up lots of small files, eg an .epub library. Having said that, it's easy to use, and definitely better than the WD Cloud which I bought previously, and which was useless.

Have you ever had a situation where you need to share a few large files between a PC and a Mac across the home network? If the answer to this question is "No" then count yourself lucky! It is truly one of the most headache-inducing tasks I have tried to do recently.

Excellent product if you know what you're doing.
Returned after installing the Raid 1 configuration and loading all my data for save keeping, I pulled out a hard drive and attempted to retrieve my data.(worst case scenario) I then discovered most NAS units run on a Linux OS.
