The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => D-Link Storage => DNS-320 => Topic started by: bill945 on February 20, 2013, 04:54:33 PM

I have a 1 TB drive and a 2 TB drive configured as standard drives, i.e., individual drives, no RAID.
The DNS 320 sees the 2 TB correctly and everything works perfectly on this drive.
However, the DNS 320 doesn't let me access the entire 1 TB drive even though it sees it as a 1 TB drive.
Here's the run down:
1) System Management -> Hard Drive Info sees the 1 TB drive drive:
Volume Name Volume_1
Volume Type standard
Total Hard Drive Capacity 982420 MB
Used Space 42111 MB
Unused Space 940309 MB
2) Approx. 52 GB are on the disk. When I try to copy 30 GB more onto it, I get the following error message:
"There is not enough space on Volume_1. You need an addityional 51.6 GB to copy these files"
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,
I just want update my post.
First I'm on 2.02 firmware & using Windows 8. Both drives on the DNS 320 are configured as standard drives.
To get the DNS 320 to recognize and read/write to the entire 1 TB drive I had to map it & give it a drive letter. Now it works perfectly! Who knew?
I also solved my problem with accessing the recycle bin, which was that it never seemed to store my deleted files. I would see it on the drive ($RECYCLE.BIN) but it never seemed to store any deleted files. So I tried mapping it too and now it works!! I see my deleted files, I can empty the bin and I can restore them!! Again, who knew that one has to map the the recycle bin to a drive letter????
Happiness has returned ;D.
