To me, the sound is not really noticeable as I have stuck the unit away at a corner of my living room. If you hide it behind the TV, I guess it will get drowned out by the TV. Erandas,

I have one quick question. How is the DNS-323 in terms of noise? I'm looking for a NAS for my living rooms so it needs to be pretty much silent. Regards Erandas Thank you for the test.

I’m looking for a NAS for my living rooms so it needs to be pretty much silent.

There is an unsigned 32-bit integer bug in the DNS-323 firmware where the built in UPnP server does not report the file size/time correctly for files > 4GB. I would like to know if the 343 has the same bug. Regards, BSPvette Can you do a quick test of the UPnP server with a video file > 4GB?

Much better than those on the review site, but still quite slow :( Hi shadowandy,

thanks for the results!

Its faster than my DNS-323. Im definitely going to get this next month if its available The speed of RAID 5 really did awed me..

Its faster than my DNS-323.

Im definitely going to get this next month if its available

It seems like the review site you posted earlier had flaw results. :| NAS-Dude,

I don't think 100mbps or 1000mbps network would matter as 20.94mbps is still 5x slower than 100mbps. I was in doubt between the dlink DNS-343 and the SMC SMCNAS04. I was going for the dlink because of the look, but after seeing those benchmarks, no way. The SMC does hardware raid, and performance for raid5 setup is on the 30-40mbytes/sec range. It would be great if you could do some raid-5 performance tests. I'm only going to make my purchase middle next month :) cheers, yes, bytes.

You calculated the speed in terms of bytes? Seems like their upload of 48.73mbps and download of 20.94mbps is terrible! Wonder if they had hooked up the NAS to a fast ethernet (100mbps) instead of Gigabit (1000mbps) network. Will try to get my hands on two more harddisks so that I could try to test the transfer rate of RAID Level 5 NAS-Dude,

It will make you cry. 6mbytes/sec download and 2.5mbytes/sec upload. check the review here: http://www.crn.com/storage/208808199 the problem is that the device does raid5 on software. It does not have a raid5 cpu. on raid5 the speed of the DNS-343 is horrible. It will make you cry. 6mbytes/sec download and 2.5mbytes/sec upload.
