Hi all, I hope to clarify some doubts before I buy this NAS.

Am planning to set up RAID1 (mirroring) with 2 identical HDDs.

Questions here are:
1. How will I know that a HDD has died?

2. What happens when one HDD die, can my files be still accessed like nothing has happened? Because I need files to be readily 24/7 when I am in NS and seldom have time to go back restart or diagnose errors.

3. I experience HDD death are something like "write errors", will it end up the mirrored HDD store a corrupted file because another HDD is malfunction?

4. Do you know if challenger still carry it for $229?

Thanks a million!

Nicholas

Well, 750 offers a lot more storage for a reasonable price increase. And there isn't any room for expansion!

question abt video streaming over internet.

say I have a big size DVD video file stored on the NAS, wanting to stream to another place outside the house via (http??), will it stream the actual DVD quality video over? or a lower quality video over?

I wanting to get the idea abt streaming, I prefer it not to stream big files out.

For you guys, how do you find access control on the DNS-323? E.g. restricting certain folders to users blah, is it easy to do?
