With 4 bays, this storage enclosure is ideal for server deployment in offi ce settings, allowing businesses to fl exibly add up to fourinternal SATA drives on a per-need basis to fulfi ll storage requirements as they grow. Remote access to fi les from the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. With this FTP feature1, company employees can access work fi les via the Internet while outside the offi ce. In addition, data will be kept safe,whether accessed locally or over the Internet, through owner-defi ned rights given to specifi c users or groups. When you confi gure the DNS-343, you can setup access privileges by setting up users, groups and folders and their respective permissions.

An extrafunctionality offered by the DNS-343 is the built-in OLED screen, which updates you on drive quotes, server status, and other integral system information in realtime.PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITYThe availability of five different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5) allows you to choose the configuration best suited to your needs.Standard mode creates four separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines the drives together in linear fashion for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0combines the drives in a ‘striped’ configuration, and is the choice offering the highest performance. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providingmaximum protection. If one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. Thenew drive will then be remirrored, allowing the DNS-343 to return to its previously secured state. RAID 5 allocates data across three or more drives and combinesstorage efficiency with reliable file protection.
