dlink dns 323

dlink dns 323 how much u bought ?
i am looking for one nas btw.aahah

rm420 from a good retailer...

at first i wanted to buy a single drive nas but i fell in love with dns323 and now i have to regret..

fyi,dlink also made single drive nas

Have to regret? any reason for that? I'm interested in Dlink DNS-323.
And RM420 for Dlink 323? where did u get that?

yup RM420 sound cheap for the dual hdd one.

I heard you can build your own NAS server. What OS u all use to control your NAS server? interested to build one for torrenting.

PC Fair will be even cheaper

I'm using a QNAP NAS with BT server. Internal HD is a 750GB WD.

btw, check this out NAS
over here
maybe need admin help tweak/merge the topic

when u buy the NAS server, what software did QNAS provide?

QNAP NAS wat brand is that ? can know the price?

i think i better build one one mini PC so can download using WIFIhaha

In sg alot user use dlink 323. I saw it before but felt it was not so need yet n the price r stil quite high. This is a good stuff even better if can put 4 hdd. Dlink is coming with more slot version. Pricing is an issue also. The torrent n network function are not really what i after. To keep the hdd on standby are what i need n i dont want hot swap. I probably will get this after i get another few F1 n use this to power up my 4x 500gb hdd.

QNAP is QNAP

this model is RM599, http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=67

Dlink DNS 323 and QNAP TS100 , 2 of almost same price.which one is better?

From now on, the external attached HDD (EXT3 or FAT format) can be used as storage and backup disk simultaneously.

=> Enhanced FTP Server: The advanced privilege of "write-only" is supported. In addition, limiting the maximum connections from each individual IP provides better bandwidth management together with the bandwidth restriction option. UTF-8 filename support which better handles multilingual characters is also optional.

=> New Download Station 2: Other than BitTorrent/FTP/HTTP download, new download channels eMule and NZB are now supported by the Download Station 2. In addition, partial files download from BitTorrent is also allowed. Download Station 2 is now separated from the management UI and stands on an individual webpage.

=> Enhanced Audio Station: No USB speakers are required for playing music stored on the server anymore. The new streaming mode streams .mp3 audio files to the client PC(1) and delivers by built-in speakers. A built-in playlist "Random100" will randomly choose and play 100 songs each time it is selected.

=> Enhanced Photo Station 3: Admin can now customize Photo Station 3 background and theme in his/her own fashion, and sort photos and albums according to personal preference in the Settings area.

=> Perl Support: Perl 5.8.6 is formally included in Synology Disk Station Manager 2.0.

=> Package Management & Logitech SqueezeCenter Support: The Logitech SqueezeCenter will be supported on Synology NAS servers after installing the SqueezeCenter package (download here) provided by Synology.

How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely

QNAP NAS supports Download Station which you can use to download files independent of PC in a more energy-saving way. You can also manage the download tasks remotely even if you were away from home.

To access the Download Station of the NAS, you can login the web-based interface by web browser or use the Windows/ Mac QGet utility provided by QNAP.

Features of QGet

1. Allows access to the NAS over the Internet and remote management of the download tasks after setting up QNAP NAS and configuring the DDNS settings.
2. Multiple QNAP NAS servers can be maintained simultaneously.
3. After you have downloaded a torrent file to your computer, e.g. from http://www.bittorrent.com, you can double click the file or drag and drop the file to QGet and execute the download instantly.
4. You can view the download percentage, pause/ restart/ delete the download tasks, configure the download settings of different NAS servers, etc.
5. The download percentage of all running download tasks is shown on a mini floating window for convenient browsing.
6. QGet is a license-free utility which can be used on Windows and Mac.

Mac QGet Interface


Windows QGet Interface


Besides PC-less download, QNAP NAS supports UPnP/ DLNA media sharing that you can play the multimedia contents on the NAS by any compatible media player in LAN. You can set up your home multimedia centre by the NAS.

QNAP's Download Station supports BitTorrent, FTP, and HTTP download. You can also set up PC-less download eMule and NZB by QPKG installation.

any idea on torrent speed using NAS??

dpeends on ur line speed i think. but if running toreent using nas, wil affct ur line stability ?

hello all...
is the D-Link DNS-323 support 1.5TB HDD? buy two HDDs and is it supprot 3TB?

we are not dlink salesman.haha
i think can't support latest 1.5TB bah.

tanya saja... because on the box said up to 2000GB, just curious whether can support up to 3000GB or 3TB since we have 1.5TB HDD available in Malaysia isn't it?

so far, we try before about 97kb/s

---

Added on October 30, 2008, 11:18 pmenh..... Synology and QNAP is testing the 1.5TB now... should take some time to certify...


but some Synology user claim that it work with 1.5TB, Seagate ST31500341AS ,1500TB, SATA II

http://www.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Use...ble_Hard_Drives

I believe the new model of Synology/QNAP NAS will be able to support.

model like:
Synology
DS-508, RS408/DS408

QNAP
TS409/509 series....

anyway, once the disk is tested and working fine, than we can post here...

This post has been edited by denhock: Oct 30 2008, 11:18 PM

of coz that will depend on line speed, but we all know rite, screamyx throttle our line, thats the problem, whethe using nas can bypass those throttle or not

speed not bad, using QNAP? what about dlink 323? anyone have screen shot on how torrent speed using this NAS?

Just bought a Intel Entry Storage System SS4000-E... for RM600...

Hehehe...

I m using NAS DS107+. My download speed is worst. What can I do to speed up the download? The torrent I show you here, have been run for 1week. And it still at 48%


This post has been edited by ozak: Oct 31 2008, 12:36 PM

depends on ur torent file and ur house line speed one

I download halfway in Utorrent and transfer it to NAS synology download station and try. Compare to my PC download speed, the NAS download is damn slow.

Anyone try the Buffalo Linkstation Live with BT NAS ? I just bought 1 unit and BT speed seems to be very slow , download rate can only be describe with Bs instead of Kbs . Any solution ? and I'm d/l those latest movie , seed should not be a problem . With Xunlei I can get 150Kbs .

maybe now we should do some comparison on NAS, which one perform better when downloading torrent file in Malaysia (can bypass throttle)

Ok. pls try

1) use the latest firmware version : DSM 2.0-0722; Build Date: 2008/09/20
2) In download Station =>setting => set the BitTorrent Network Setting , BitTorrent protocol encryption: "Auto/Always "
3) use the default BT port range ( unless u know the actual port)
4) Enable DHT network ( this normally will increase 25% )

---

Added on November 1, 2008, 12:38 amone of the good buying point / value added to QNAP/Synology NAS is ,they will release new firmware with improved performance as well as new feature every 2~3 months.


so far, as what I know the first NAS come with BitTorrent protocol encryption: is QNAP TS-109 model. and than they apply to all the TS-109 , TS-209 series.. and also implement the DHT

and than Synology also implement this ...... (with new latest firmware upgrade for Synology :NEW Download Station 2: Supports two new download channels – eMule and NZB, and allows partial file download form BitTorrent.)


some idea of DHT info
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Download Station enhancements include DHT support, 25% performance increase, BT encryption support, and flexible seeding rule settings. The download enhancements imply a shorter time needed to download the same files; this pushes the Green idea Synology has always kept in mind another step forward.

The DHT support allows trackerless torrents downloading. It means you do not need to connect to a tracker in order to download, but connect to a distributed DHT Network to find other peers. The upgraded Download Station also supports TCP trackers, UDP trackers, and Peer Exchange Protocol, all that are for increasing the ability to find more peers when downloading. In addition, flexible seeding options are also available in this release.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




others NAS which offer BT just normal BT... wihtout BitTorrent protocol encryption:... and download speed is just less than 19Kb/s...


personally, I manage to get the max is 120KB/s, and some time 97KB/s or even 55KB/s..... refer to the manufacture explaining is the total speed will depands on your ISP line, how many BT server/PC holding/storing the file that u need to download, the more service/PC online with that particular file than your speed will fast..

so, if you monitoring closely, you can "SEE" the download speed up and down.... and don't forgot to leave the file open for sharing at least 1~2 hours... let others ppl to BT your file.... BT is mainly for sharing...

if you like to try,

for synology: port 5000
http://midi.serveftp.net:5000 ,

for QNAP : port 8080 ( only IE, user can use others port, but for this example, we use port 8080)
http://midi.serveftp.net:8080 ,

or for QNAP you can use the QGet this is free utility.
How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely


you can use :
1) user ID: midi password :midi
2) user ID: test password :test
3) user ID: abc password :abc
4) user ID :admin password: admin

if you had jump out from the page that's mean others user using the same ID to login.... as this is a demo site.

Guess soon i'll be joining this legion.
Main priority is replace the use of usb external drive to NAS via wifi.
Currently still looking for the most power efficient setup between NAS enclosure or self built NAS

wanna ask here, if use qget remote control software, can i queue and instruct the NAS to download files from rapidshare or megaupload remotely? lets say that the NAS is at home while im at uni or 'balik kampung', is that possible? ive preferred dload using RS or MU rather than BT...

Remotely to download the file?

Yes. there is.

QNAP and Synology NAS can do this.

QNAP : admin user can do without using any others software,
QNAP demo link: ID/PAss: admin

QNAP also product MLDonkey (電子騾)How to Install & Run MLDonkey (EMule) via QPKG on the QNAP NAS
http://www.qnap.com/pro_features_QPKG.asp




QNAP also come with Qget How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely

QNAP user can use this Qget to control fews QNAP NAS all over the world... this mean, NAS can be at JB, Melake, PG, Sabah, Sarawak ,Singapore and others place as long as internet connected.

for Synology: they have Download station ( web base, come with synology NAS and FREE to use),

Synology admin as well as user to remotely to put the link. but now only admin can use the eMule and user only can use BT,

u can try this link: http://midi.serveftp.net:5000, user/pass: admin

if you know chinese, please see this link: Synology NAS DS207+ V.S PC µTorrent 下載速度PK賽

Added on November 3, 2008, 1:01 amthis will depends on your technical skill and the time you have....

like QNAP / Synology : they release new firmware every 2~3 months and they also have official forum (in chinese/english/others launguge)...

Thanks for your help. The setting you mention, I have done it early. The only different is the "Bittorrent protocol ecryption" was disable. I have found another way. To speed up the download, I ve to enable the DMZ in the router setting. But this would cause my NAS without a firewall protection. Here is the latest result. The speed is still about 30-40KB/s slow than the pc download speed.


This post has been edited by ozak: Nov 3 2008, 09:03 AM

so, which NAS u would recommend to me, if my main use is:

download from Rapidshare or Megaupload using premium account,
BT sometimes (encrypted?)
hav 2 bays,
and other standard features...

thx

I have a chat with denhock on the Synology DS-108J. The current Download Station 2.0 are not very user friendly with rapidshare/Megaupload Multiple links.
For RS, User need to input download link, username and password for every link. For a HD video that around 4.5GB which had 35-40 links (File split to 200mb max)...User need add manually 1 by 1...Very tedious task!

For RS user, we normally use IDM (Internet Download Manager) or other DM apps to add multiples links and few button clicks. IDM also support import txt file(that consist RS/Megaupload links)

But for BT, I think is not a big deal since it normally had single link url for whole content.

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 4 2008, 03:57 PM

download from Rapidshare or Megaupload using premium account,
respond: so far, for current firmware, u need to put the link one by one.... had send this request to QNAP/Synology

2 bays: QANP TS-209 II ( 500Mhz, 256MB)
Synology DS-207+ ( 500Mhz, 128MB) / DS-209+ ( 800Mhz, 512MB)

all have BitTorrent protocol encryption, DHT support.

This post has been edited by denhock: Nov 4 2008, 04:11 PM

what kind of price im expected to fork out for these dual bays?
whats the power consumption like, and any cooling issues?

IINM the QNAP t209 is rm1599 and the price for DS207 is rm1499...
u can chek the price at http://www.midispecialist.com/

damn, its very expensive... wut abour QNAP ts101 (599) and DS108j (599)?
i know it has 1 bay only, but wut about other feature like encrypted BT and remote dload manager for RS and MU??

wut do u suggest? da cheaper one or the expensive one??

This post has been edited by Nidz: Nov 4 2008, 11:28 PM

can nas server install a vpn service on it?

thanks bro
i shat bracks for a while there >_<

guess i need to research more on freeNAS alternative and such before taking a plunge into NAS

Traffic rate: 30cents (new rate)

For synology/QNAP power consumption is from 26w ( 1 bay) ~ 84.7w (5bays /HDD) ~ less than RM230.00 per year ( for 85W)

so is far far lower than if using normal PC :

for example:

1) with 250W PS : RM 657/ year

2) with 350W PS : RM 919/ year


3) with 450W PS : RM 1182/ year


4) with 550W PS : RM 1445/ year


so, if you use synology/QANP .. you can save more $$$

Added on November 4, 2008, 11:56 pmyes, encrypted BT for Synology only. for QNAP TS-101 , sorry, not yet enable this feature yet.

Added on November 4, 2008, 11:58 pmeh,,,,... u need to visit synology and QNAP official forum... so far, some user had manage to install PHPXmail and others application....

This post has been edited by denhock: Nov 14 2008, 12:32 AM

http://www.pcshow.net/detail-36-426332-5.html (china site)

look like QNAP - TS-109Pro can support xunlei.

do u need additional cooling for the QNAP NAS?

no lah.... so far , all the QNAP NAS model have very good design on this area.

Maybe I a bit Paranoid.

what if NAS fails?
HD are in linux file format

easy to get data out?

Basically, this will depends which NAS product u buy...

for example: for QNAP 1 bay product, they product Q-RAID-1, which mean u can have mirroring your DATA. once internal HDD dead than U just replace this external HDD to your internal HDD. and power up... and it will work like normal.

if you ask about HW ( which mean the inside motherbaord) fail... so far less than 1% of spoil rate for the past 3 years.....

but if you still insist ask how if your NAS is belong to that 1%, than the answer is , just connect to another QNAP NAS, they can read...... by others QNAP NAS....

but as for extra protection, normally we advice customer to do the QRAID-1 to have better data protection...

i am looking for 2 bay NAS product, anyone can intro to me?

Just got my D-link DNS-323 NAS.
Kinda dissapointed. Does'nt even have protocol encryption settings available...

Download speed is around 4Kbps...

I'm getting a 2TB network drive with mirroring raiding O_O

I think its NAS, lets see what I got when i receive it XD

Can someone explain to me the difference between a Synology DS-109j and a DS-109? Or the difference between Synology's 10xj or 10x technically would be a pretty similar line of question. Price is of course different.

I'm thinking of buying a NAS to act as a LAN file server and a remote (access through Internet) file server whenever I go outstation (no need to pry off an internal HDD and bringing along an external case). Certainly simplify things and reduce power usage whenever I just need torrent-ing or simple browsing/word processing with my netbook (leaving my desktop for use for heavier tasks).

Check out with the comparison chart.

we can share document in NAS, or some of the NAS device provide torrent download

I am interested to know whether can configure NAS to download from rapidshare, megaupload, etc...

no have any NAS support these

Saw MAXTOR 320GB Shared Storage II selling at RM159 only.
But it's only 320Gb and it's kinda ugly compare to Buffalo LinkStation.

it is external enclosure or NAS ?

^^ It's NAS with built in 320Gb. Got 2 usb port.
After researching, it seems like pretty old model.
That's why the price going low now.

Hi,

I just follow NAS Thread here and its nice...
I've planned to buy NAS for home user.

Basicaly I need NAS to connect to my iMac and PC both, and use for media streaming, and if possible the usb also can use as print server.
Is there any recomendation which Nas Product is good both in performance and featured ?

I saw this thread mostly use Synology, Qnap and Dlink.

Right now I need 2TB disk and I just abit confused with WD MyBook World II and Dlink.

Thanks.

I am finding for cheap affordable NAS solution too.
Is D-Link DNS-313 no longer in production?

Any comment on Western digital sharespace 4TB?

Is NAS can configure as stand alone File server in a LAN environment?
How about user authentication? About 70 users.

How about RAID0 to RAID6? Just software configuration or all NAS can support it?

Get the synology or qnap.

I m using synology for 2yrs. So far so good. A lot of function you can use.

Thanks Mr. Ozak

Looking forward for Pc Fair promo for NAS.
Wanna get a simple one like D-Link DNS-313(but this is already obsolete model).

DLink DNS-313/323/343 is just an enclosure. The DNS323, price at RM469. Put a WD Green WD20EADS 2TB @ RM 710 = RM1,179.
Put 2 x WD10EADS 1TB & raid-0 it to get the same capacity @ 2 x RM285 = RM570. Plus the enclosure you will be paying RM1,039.

WD MyBook World II is fitted with the same WD20EADS 2TB harddisk and the retail price is RM1,290.

My advise, if you do not know how to manage a custom build device it is better that you stick with the WD. Otherwise get a custom NAS which offers more functionality as below which WD might/might not be offering:
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Port
USB 2.0 Port for Print Server or UPS Monitoring Power
IEEE 802.3 + IEEE 802.3ab
EEE 802.3u + TCP/IP
CIFS/SMB + DHCP Server/Client
DDNS + NTP
FTP + HTTP/HTTPS
Jumbo Frame
JBoD, RAID 0, RAID 1
E-mail alerts
iTunes & FTP Server
Built-in FTP server for file access from over the Internet
UPnP
Power management for conserving energy and extending hard drive life
Real time backups with the included backup software
Storage permissions for users and groups
soft-modded UNIX operating system

Great choice. Synology is a great product if $$$ is not the constraint.

Wah, thanks for the very good exporsure... Actually I'm also kinda of techies... Custom build should be no problem on me since I need for the performance.

Maybe anyone know, from hardware build which one is using more advance tech ?
