The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => D-Link Storage => DNS-323 => Topic started by: dividedhighw on January 14, 2013, 09:03:00 PM

After not quite 2 yrs, one of the slots in my in-laws' DNS-323 has gone bad. Won't recognize any drive at all. I'm considering replacing the DNS-323 unit with a DNS-320, but have a couple of questions:
1. Will the RAID volume from the DNS-323 work in the 320 or must I reformat and start from scratch?
2. How will the performance of the 320 compare to the 323?
3. Should I be considering something else instead?
TIA for your guidance/advice!

The word from D-Link is that the RAID structure between the DNS-320 and DNS-323 are different. At best, only Standard Volumes and JBOD are transferable. Although, if I were you (and albeit time consuming), I would allow the DNS-320 to natively format the HDD and then perform a data transfer.
2. How will the performance of the 320 compare to the 323?

The DNS-320 was recently phased out in favor of the new DNS-320L, which is supported by D-Link's new Cloud apps for remote access. The DNS-320L also has improved hardware specifications over the DNS-320.
