    Safe to use NAS as internet facing webserver?

    DLink DNS 323 NAS and FTP Security Risks

    I'd like to pose the question that I raised previously in another way. Is there anyone who is using the DNS-323 as a server or any similar NAS as a server that has been hacked by an intruder? If so, what were the consequences of being hacked?

    DLink DNS 323 NAS and FTP Security Risks

    I recently acquired a D-Link DNS-323 NAS which I have behind a D-Link DIR-655 Router. Although I’m using it primarily for back-up, I would also want to access files while I’m on the road. But I’m a bit concerned about the risks associated with opening up a port on the router. The NAS...

    Advice on New Purchase

    After reading a number of reviews, I decided to purchase the WD 1001FALS 1 TB drive. It appeared to have more favorable reviews than the Seagate drives of similar capacity. I was able to install the drive and update the firmware without a hitch. Thus far, the device is working well and...

    Advice on New Purchase

    I don't have a problem with having two separate volumes. In fact, that might be advantageous since I can designate one for myself and one for my wife. The DNS-323 is selling for $129 at this time (including a $30 rebate). I also saw Seagate 1.5 TB drives selling for $119 at a major...

    Advice on New Purchase

    Thanks ever so much for your thoughtful feedback. I believe that I need a little more than 1 TB of storage at this time and that my storage needs will grow in the years to come. A 2-drive NAS appears to make sense. I would start with one-drive and add a second in a year or two. Thanks for...

    Advice on New Purchase

    I’ve been contemplating the purchase of an NAS for several months and would appreciate some advice and guidance. I've read the sticky and have looked at the reviews, but am a little overwhelmed by the amount of information on the website. Presently, my home has 3 computers. The main...
