How or can I protect the drives on my NAS?
Is it possible to encrypt the drives with, for example, TrueCrypt?
If it is possible, can I still connect to my NAS with SMB, FTP etc..?
Thanks for answers!

I´ve read a little on google, and if I understand it right I can create a folder or a conainer on my NAS with TrueCrypt and then it is encrypted.
And I can look at all files with SMB, but I need to type a password everytime. So this is not going to work with XBMC? And not with FTP?

Not quite sure how you would create the TrueCrypt container since the OS running the NAS knows nothing about TrueCrypt. For something like that to work, I think you would need to install Fun_plug and then port TrueCrypt to work with it.
If you have such sensitive material that it needs to be hidden by TrueCrypt then should you be storing it on a NAS in the first place?
We use a mixture of DNS-323, DNS-320 and DNS-345 in our business and everything that is not public is behind a password - in fact there are several passwords depending on who can see what.

You can use the NAS as storage for the TrueCrypt (TC) container and use TC on the client machine to access. The container (100GB) I used was not created directly on the NAS but on a PC before moving to the NAS.

The DNS-345 is the first D-Link consumer NAS with the native ability to encrypt volumes (AES-based volumed encryption).
