faster way to copy to a 323 prepared disk?
« on: April 18, 2010, 04:06:08 PM »

Hello all,


i have just bought my 2nd DNS-323, and dont yet have the drive, which im waiting to be shipped, what i was wondering before i get it is, is it possible to install the new drive in the dns (just the one) to see if it works, then if it does obviously let the dns do its preparation thing.

can i then remove it after it has been prepared and connect it to a windows 7 pc to fill up, then put it back after?

i ask this because i have alot more stuff than before to go on it right away, and before i used ftp which took a while even though there wasnt as much, so this time i would rather do it a faster way, if it is at all possible that is.


:D



thanks, and thanks alot dlink for a great product thus far :)

You could give it a try with the Ext2 Installable File System http://www.fs-driver.org/ and see if that does the trick.  Write a gig or so to it and stick it back into the machine and see if it works.

I just use Windows SMB, normally with my preferred sync application Beyond Compare.
