The DNS-313 Single Bay Network Storage Enclosure, when used with internal SATA drives, enables you to share documents, files, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone else on the home or office network. Remotely accessing files through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups. When configuring the DNS-313, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an office environment with employee-specific sensitive data or for home where children can be ensured to have access only to age-appropriate materials.

Back up music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-313 for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benefits of the built-in iTune and UPnP AV media server to stream music, video and other digital content to compatible media players. This feature is highly convenient as it allows users to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the same function.

The DNS-313 can be flexibly used as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) or a Direct-Attached Storage (DAS). As a NAS, it connects to an office or home network through a high-speed Gigabit port for shared disk access. As a DAS, it connects through a USB 2.0 port of a server or your personal laptop computer for use as a portable external USB hard drive. The DNS-313 features simple hard drive installation and is very handy when you need to store large files and carry them around to work or back home, or when you travel.

 Flaky

| | See all HaggardPete's reviews (1)

Many problems with write / read problems to the 500GB WD disk I installed in this unit. These were much improved but not resolved by a firmware update. The DNS313 also has a poor operator interface which can loose settings (such as all user details). The ftp server stopped working and only came back after a factory re-set. In addition the security model implemented on this device is crude and almost useless.

The last thing you need in a storage device is unreliability and for this reason I suggest you avoid the DNS313.

 Very good budget option

This is a very capable little unit and good value considering that others are twice or more for similar features. The transfer speeds are not going to set any records but are enough for normal domestic use, I can for instance stream HD video off one of these with no problems.

 No real problems

I used a Western Digital (WD) Caviar Green WD10EVDS 1TB 3.5" Internal SATA Hard Drive with my DNS-313. I've had no real problems, apart from my impatience. The drive had to be configured using the supplied software on a Windows PC (Mac Users beware) as the web server doesn't start working until the disk is formatted and up and running. (Or at least I couldn't get it to talk via the web server).
