The DNS-321 does support P2P torrent downloading via a plugin since Firmware 1.03. The plugin is located here:

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DNS-321

click "Support Resources" then "Additional Downloads"


The only difference that I can see between the 321 and the 323 is that the 323 supports a usb printer.

Only holds 2 drives, for $140? Utter crap

Wheres the 4-bay deals?

Benchmarks also show the 321 to have slower transfer speeds, for those who care

323 is worth it IMO.

4-bay NAS is nice and I want one as well, but for 3x the price I'd pass :P

ok, find a sub $350 or even sub $400 4 bay drive then if this is utter crap to you.

until prices come down on the 4 bay ones, it'd be way cheaper buying 2 - 2bay ones.

I own two of these and love them! That's a pretty good deal on them too.

Canada Computers also has several bundle deals of this NAS with Seagate drives.

I was lucky enough to pick one up from dell @ 89.99 a few days back..that was a hot hot deal! I like this unit a lot better than my old Linksys NAS200, I highly recommend it.

For those who own this already, have you tried to play 1080p files wirelessly?

What's the difference between this and 321? Is it worth the price difference?

I have a 321 which I bought in March and only used it for a month. If anybody is interested, please PM me.

Thanks.

P.S. I did streaming 1080p movie and it works fine. The streaming rate is about 19mbps.

That was the DNS-321, this is for the 323. It was a good deal for sure but they aren't the same unit. For the $50 price difference though, a little bit slower is no big deal for me.

At those prices why not build yourself a cheap system with multiple drive bays and turn that into a NAS?

I think even the DNS-321 can stream 1080p, I do a copy to DNS-321 and got 14.6 MBps (byte not bits) from PC with Gig-E port. Most media players have only Fast Ethernet port that max out at 12.5 MBps (theoretical max of 100Mbps/8) . The bottleneck would be with the wireless network.

So far even my Trendnet TPL-302E powerline Ethernet choked with 1080p files, but end-to-end wired Fast Ethernet network is fine, even when going through a gig switch (Dlink 1008D) and a Linksys router (WRT54GL).

Two reasons: space constraints (incl. peripherals), power consumption

Anyone order DNS-321 from dell for $89 got it shipped?
My order was cancelled. Didn't know why?

Perhaps Dell ran out of stock? I've been using it for almost a week.

This is "ok" if you missed out on the extremely good price on the DNS-321 available at Dell on Day 5 of Days of Deals which was a excellent price of $89.99. Or if you got screwed by Dell, where you ordered it 45 mins into the deal offer when it still said in-stock, only to have the order cancelled on you cuz they actually ran out of stock like me.

AFAIK, the only real difference between the 321 and the 323 is a USB Printer port on the 323.. and the 321 is no longer offered for sale @ Dell and possibly no longer manufactured?

the 321 was released after the 323 so I doubt they'd kill it before the 323.

I ordered it and got a back order with shipping estimate of july 08. The best deal was memory express had the dns 323 for 99.99.

Wow, I was a lucky bastard! My 321 blew the PS at the 2nd power on. After a little run-around at Dell, I end up with a CS located in India I think who promise to send me a new one and the instructions to send back the defective. After 2 days, I receive another new 321!
After a week, I had to call again about the instructions to send my defective one still in my possession.
And they did not charge my cc me twice.

I have both 321 and 323 holding avi mainly. There has been no problems except for win7 who sometimes loses them.

I converted a DIY basic Atom system into a WinServer which is limited to two drives because the M/B only has two connections. It was super easy to install Win Server and is recognized by Patriot and Kodak.
