    ZyXEL NSA-220 Review: Successor to the D-Link DNS-323?

    Hi thiggins, Do you know if there is a scheduled backup feature on this NAS & how to make use of it? According to the user manual, the attached memeo software can do scheduled backup but I am unable to schedule it for any given time of day. I am also unable to set the download service to...

    DLink DNS-313 Single Bay NAS

    According to a user; the DNS-313 is running a Linux OS. The Linux OS can also write to NT File System. The partition it boots on is on EXTFS while the data partition is in NTFS. Are there any inherent advantages in this setup?

    DLink DNS-313 Single Bay NAS

    Thanks for the response Thiggins. How will the NTFS file system affect the performance? I understand that EXT2/3 file systems are more stable than NTFS is that true?

    DLink DNS-313 Single Bay NAS

    Appreciate if anyone can feedback on the performance of this single bay NAS from Dlink that can support NTFS file system. I intend to have 2 nos of this NAS backing each other up without any RAID option. The NTFS file system will also enable it to be mountable on any windows OS computer for...

    Build Your Own Atom-based NAS

    I suppose all these DIY NASes are running software RAID. Has anyone tried using a RAID card to run hardware RAID (either 0, 1 or 5)? What would be the main differences?

    Will there be a review on this? The N3200 was well reviewed.

    Thecus is looking for your NAS wishlist

    I would like Thecus to have comparable pricing in other countries like here in Singapore. MSRPs in North America are significantly lower even after conversion & do not make Thecus NASes value-for-money products in Singapore as they are in NA especially when compared to their competitors...

    Raid 01 NAS...sending back 323...

    Hi John, Sorry to hear about your predicament. Why not try the Thecus 3-bay N3200 pro? It can run on RAID 1 & the price is good. Mind telling me what went wrong with the DNS-323? Thinking of buying it.

    Netgear ReadyNAS Duo Reviewed

    Hi claykin, given this lack of drawback of the ReadyNas Duo (ability to read data on disk with regular desktops), do you still recommend I get it over the D-Link DNS-323 which can be readily read? I am looking at these two NAS & weighing their pros & cons.

    Netgear ReadyNAS Duo Reviewed

    Thanks again Bill for sharing. I am still a NAS newbie so I don't understand what you mean by 'run a wake'. Can you please explain? So your 2 backup NASes are programmed to auto shut down after each rsync, does it mean you have to power on/re-boot all 2 NASes manually before a backup? What...

    How To Recover Data From RAID 5 if NAS Crashes

    Thanks thiggins for the advice. Will the RAID array need to be re-established in the new system? How can this be done?

    Netgear ReadyNAS Duo Reviewed

    Thanks Bill for your response. So you now have backup NASes for each other. Do you still run RAID on any one of them? Which mode of RAID do you run & why? I am trying to figure out if I should run my primary NAS on RAID 1 or 5 & have a backup NAS without any RAID.

    Netgear ReadyNAS Duo Reviewed

    The article seem to suggest that you are not able to easily recover or read your data from a regular computer using the disks from a ReadyNas Duo which had suffered a crash. So what is the benefit of having a ReadyNas Duo in RAID 1 if it is so difficult to recover data if the NAS crashes...
