NCIX - $189 - D-LINK DNS-323 2-BAY NAS w/ Seagate Barracuda 3.5IN 500GB 32MB

[pnyknights]

Not sure about the HDD, it looks decent. The NAS alone is ~$239 from TD (unfortunately the MIR can't be used with NCIX)

but I can't seem to find out how much to ship to TO
warm maybe?

EDIT 1:
DEAD now as oos

EDIT 2:
I just noticed the Black Friday Sale on PCV
DNS-323 @ $129.95
500GB HDD @ $59.95
= 189.90
+ (ON) tax
==214.59 (no shipping)

which is ~$10 more than this but at least local, just in case people want that PM oppurtunity

If you look at PriceCanada.com it seems the bay can be had for less than $140..... so if you need a drive, it's a decent deal.

For the RAID, don't they have to be identical drives? Weird they would only supply one... heh

Regardless a great product to use

I bought one a month and a half ago, loving every bit of it. Only thing that pisses me off and that you should be aware of, is that the USB print server doesn't seem to work. After googling, it seems to be a common problem that a lot of other users have. There's new firmwares out, but even after updating it, it still doesn't work for me, while it worked for others.

Really annoyed as that is the main reason I bought it and I think its too late to return it now......hopefully I can fiddle around more with it to eventually get it working.

Anyone else have trouble setting this up with their printer and managed to get it to work?

I'm very tempted to get one of these... would love to load all my pictures, videos and music on them... especially my pictures - I have no backups!

Do it ASAP! Not necessarily a NAS, but a friend of mine recently lost all her photos, and I can only imagine how painful it must be. Music, videos, pr0n, can all be replaced. Personal pictures can't.

I went out and bought a WD 250 GB 2.5'' external drive from costco just to backup photos, but also have a copy on the NAS as well. I'd seriously cry if i lost my photos

I have this for over 6 months not. It is rock solid and works well with my Lexmark E238. You have to make sure the printer is connected and powered on before you power on the NAS. I have 2 750GB drives in it.

[ziondog]

I want this so bad.

I wanna put 2x 1TB drives into it!

I have this unit. Had 2x 1.5TB to put it in but ended up returning those drives due to the firmware issues seagate is having with it. back to 2x 1tb for me.

[galantgtz99]

The NAS alone is selling for $145 at canada computers now, but i was on sale before for about $135 a few times....The 500GB Seagate drive is about $70 bucks... thus this $189 does seem to be an okay deal...
NCIX had this combo on the surprise sale a month ago for $179.... should have got it at that time...

[emjay]

I've owned this NAS for a while and it's great for all sorts of things. I use a sync program to backup all my important files to it and also use it as a media server for my PS3.

[belowzeros]

god this unit is so completely awesome...love it to death.


it's not a hot deal tho, it's the going rate now for the unit plus a 500gb 7200.11...might be a good deal at NCIX but it's everyday pricing now.

[1nsanity]

How is the newer version of that Unit?

Edit: I was refering to the 321 instead, nevermind.

i am using the 321 from the last day of deals at $119.00

it works fine with the seagate 1.5 tb drives now after firmware update to 1.01. got 3tb on the network in one unit.

it streams media to both ps3, and xbox 360 just fine, and itunes on both mac and pc pick it up.

just shows up on network, all computers both mac and pc see it fine. only get about 10mb/s-13mb/s read and write on the network though. but good enough for massive central storage without having to bother with windows file sharing etc. i like that it shows up in the 'computers' tab of windows, and you do not have to dig under networking.

kinda has me hooked, starting to look at the 4 bay unit's....of course they cost a lot more.
