My two cents...

Due to things we can't see behind the veil of what it takes to make a firmware release and (sorry D-Link!!!) it's never a wise idea to state an exact date when it comes to software releases. 

Have patience.

Those of us who have been waiting for 'Duke Nukem Forever' or 'Starcraft II' know all about sliding release dates.  It comes with the turf.  The firmware has issues that need to be fixed, they're actively being worked on.. have patience.  The 323 does everything it's advertised to.  The 1.08 bonuses are going to be worth the wait. :)

I'm pretty sure formatting the incorrect hard drive in the event of a RAID failure wasn't an advertised feature. Did the serial number check get included in the new firmware? The drive also originally had EXT3 support and file system tools such as scan disk and defrag which were advertised and then removed.

I'm not asking for an exact date, they said July so they must have some idea. Are we talking next month, 3 months, a year? I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a time frame given this is the purpose of this thread.

That said, I love the DNS-323 and so far I am very happy with it (but then I haven't had to deal with a RAID failure yet and I am going to be pretty miffed if it formats the wrong drive. Yes I do backup elsewhere too.).

This is one reason why I thought a beta 2 would be nice. I think it would have helped speed this along and also give the beta testers a sense of what was still not working and provide information to help with the development.

Could anyone from DLink post what's changed in this beta from the last one? Or even better, what makes this still a beta instead of a release? Should really help me before buying 2x2TB drives and upgrade my DNS-323.

Thanks!

We may be re-adding it. It is being looked into. It appears that we can stablize it...HOWEVER..theres a catch. If a user wants format their hard drives and they are running NFS, they will have to reboot the unit first. So far thats where its at and may be acceptable for a release. Will update you next week :).

VERY acceptable to me if we get NFS. Just my 2 cents...
