Product Description:

SECURE DIGITAL FILE SHARING FEATURE
The D-Link DNS-343 4-Bay Network Storage Enclosure enables you to add disk storage on the network to share documents, fi les, and digital media such as music, videos and photos. With 4 bays, this storage enclosure is ideal for server deployment in offi ce settings, allowing businesses to fl exibly add up to four internal SATA drives on a per-need basis to fulfi ll storage requirements as they grow.

Remote access to fi les from the Internet is also possible with the builtin FTP server. With this FTP feature1, company employees can access work fi les via the Internet while outside the offi ce. In addition, data will be kept safe, whether accessed locally or over the Internet, through owner-defi ned rights given to specifi c users or groups. When you confi gure the DNS-343, you can set up access privileges by setting up users, groups and folders and their respective permissions. This security feature is ideal for an offi ce environment with employee-specifi c sensitive data.

STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT WITH BUILT IN MEDIA SERVER
Easily back up your digital media fi les to the DNS-343 for safekeeping. After securing your fi les, enjoy the benefi ts of its built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players (such as Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and D-Link’s MediaLounge media players). An extra functionality offered by the DNS-343 is the built-in OLED screen, which updates you on drive quotes, server status, and other integral system information in real time.

PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
The availability of fi ve different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5) allows you to choose the confi guration best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates four separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines the drives together in linear fashion for maximum space effi ciency. RAID 0 combines the drives in a ‘striped’ confi guration, and is the choice offering the highest performance. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum protection. If one drive fails while confi gured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be remirrored, allowing the DNS-343 to return to its previously secured state. RAID 5 allocates data across three or more drives and combines storage effi ciency with reliable fi le protection.
