Yup, about 10-15 min walk from the nearest bus stop. Check your disk's warranty status at WD website, it should state how much warranty you still have left. If it states the total 5 years then it should be no problem. Otherwise it's Achieva for u.

If you have experience using unix, you could try fsck. See http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fsck/ for more info.

i tried the first line -
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fsck .
and got the error -
rsync: getaddrinfo: inreto.de 873: Name or service not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.5]

abit too chim for me. I shall now do the traditional format and see how it goes

Thanks VinceGan. i tried that too, as well as anyhow humtum a 'www.inreto.de/dns/fsck .' but same error .

I found out that I had to disable ffp before I can run the dns-323 scandisk. Did that and managed to run the scandisk. I'm now at 94% liao.

edit: spoke too soon. looks like i'm stuck at 94%...if it still doesn't move soon, i will continue another day.

Funny, that shld work unless ur dns323 cannot access the internet. Oh well, you could point your browser to www.inreto.de/dns/fsck then just download watever is there into your dns 323 but heck... I think you can download those disk diagnostics tools from their website, create a bootable cd and just run the tools from there.

Do you guys leave it running 24/7?
how can you secure the data on it?
i tried to remove all account and create a admin account.
my office lappy cannot connect to it while my personal lappy can.
i reckon it could be due to the domain or workgroup thingy.
but after entering the admin ID and PW, the office lappy (Vista) still cannot connect.

do i need to install addons like NFS?

Thanks for your advice during the past few days

called a couple of stores up - 1 store claim that the promo only valid in Sitex, the other store say no idea of this promotion

 

[majedzuberi]

Do a check if any of u guys put 2x samsung 1tb spinpoint f1 in their dlink? got any problems?

 

[mikezuper]

called a couple of stores up - 1 store claim that the promo only valid in Sitex, the other store say no idea of this promotion

Fuwell already selling at this price, I am planning to hoot this on 1st day at Sitex, hopefully got better deal

Questions though:
1.) If I am planning to extend this to become media center as well, any all-in-one device (NAS + Media Center) that is good?
2.) I plan to get 2 x Hitachi 1TB 32MB 5400RPM ($80) and RAID 0 it later (mirroring) - is this a good hdd?

Any comments appreciated!

 

[mikezuper]

Anyone can help?

1. Should be no issue.

2. Get the new Samsung F4 1TB 7200RPM hard disk. It's cheaper ($70@PC Theme) and is very fast.

1.) Any recommendation for the media center? Or any device out there that already have both NAS with RAID-0 + media center?

2.) Samsung is reliable?

Thats my consideration of not getting Samsung - not sure on its reliability - though luck is a factor too.

So far I am using either WD or Hitachi, it works fine (touch wood)
