In the beta section, they're talking about it being posted on the D-Link web site on Monday, this will be the 1.08 final release.

Ok thanks gunrunnerjohn.  I keep an eye peeled for it. 

Cheers

Is this new FW release delayed??

As stated in another thread, the Beta 1.09 went up yesterday offering a trial of Cloud Backup. 1.08 package was not ready until late in the day when the web dev team had already left and since we do not post official firmwares on fridays (official policy), it will be live monday.

Thanks D-Link Multimedia

question, any chance of losing data on hard drives when updating firmware? Or can i remove the hard drive (drives are standard) update firmware and then install drives, what do you recomend

[D-Link Multimedia]

I have never seen a firmware update wipe drives on any of our devices. If you want to take precaution you can easily pop out the drives and update the firmware however it is not needed.

Slight correction to my release date on 1.08, it will be Tuesday as D-Link US will not be in office Monday to celebrate so a momentous holiday.

I'm curious about this statement.  Exactly how does fun_plug fix hibernation?

You can read more below.  Obviously you need funplug first, then you add the fan hack scripts

Hibernation is NOT the fan control, it's spinning down the drives.

Any update on this?

anyway - prowd owner of a piece and pretty happy about it.

[D-Link Multimedia]

Delayed until tomorrow morning. Just waiting on web dev to upload it to the server......(they always make me look bad when they do this!)

Gunnrunner. 1.07 is hardly an update, chAnglog hitatchi drive support...

Fordam we have had this discussion before
I want the unit to do as advertised, nothing more than that, or change your advertising
I bought it to work with my ps3 and am for Ed to use ps3 media server as it is far superior to. Thedns323
for file server abity
the dns works great as a fill extention but that is not the only thi g it is put out there to do

we should get updates to firmware everymonth for items that don't work properly that are supposed to

updates for additional features are nice but seriously just get this thing working the way it is supposed to work

firmware updates recommend you backup and for
at the drives so thAt the full effect of the upgrade is installed

it is foolish to install beta drivers on core backup data

 

Out of curiosity - why do you equate the lack of "significant firmware upgrade(s)" with "post sale support".

For the sake of discussion - let's say a firm were to introduce a NAS, with a well developed stable, bugfree operating system (assuming such a thing were possible), why should they offer any "upgrade" whatsoever?

For the sake of discussion - let's say a firm were to introduce a NAS, with a well developed stable, reasonably bugfree operating system (assuming such a thing were possible), they might offer firmware updates to correct any bugs that were discovered, but why should they offer any firmware "upgrade" whatsoever?

When you bought the DNS-323, you knew what features D-Link advertised it as having, what makes you think you are entitled to more?

Now - to discuss post sale support - for the most part I've had very few reasons to contact D-Link's tech support team, and on those few occasions it has been done by email, and I find them courteous and responsive and if I might say so, a lot more prompt than those of their competitors whom I have had the need to contact.  In fact, the only network equipment manufacturer who has been more prompt & helpful than D-Link has been Cisco (and I don't mean Linksys by Cisco).

Mind you - I'm not giving D-Link a clear pass here - this thing still has bugs that I think should have been fixed years ago - but - my point is, you're not entitled to upgrades, and post sale support is in no way linked to said upgrades.

[gunrunnerjohn]

Well, maybe you "should" get firmware updates every months, but don't hold your breath.

it would be nice to have 1 a year, never mind 1 a month, most companies will do one every quarter but have never seen that from D-Link ....
