Okay, I've read reviews on other sites and there were a lot of people complaining about this box and how hard it was to setup, etc. Not true! I added this box to my network to help with my migration from a Windows desktop to a Macbook. Basically wanted a storage server that could host my home videos, music, pictures, etc since my Macbook has limited drive space. This was the answer for me! I added two Seagate 1TB drives, went through the easy setup wizard and I was off and running. Setting up users, groups, shares, etc. isn't difficult if you have any IT experience. Yes, certain administrative things are buried in the web interface, but add these functions to your favorites and you'll be golden. I connect this box to my gig network via Ethernet, so transfer speeds are not bad. Skip the USB and add this to your network via Ethernet. I backup my data from this NAS to my old DNS-320 with no real performance issues. I also stream video from this box to my AppleTV 2nd Gen with no issues. I no longer need my large Windows desktop, so out the door it goes. If you're looking for a decent NAS that won't break the bank, then this is the answer for you.

I use this NAS as a central depository for files on my network and to stream music to a Sonos system and to stream video and pictures to a couple of Playstation 3 consoles. I purchased two hard drives for the unit and this allows me to automatically backup the files from one hard drive to the other every night. The streaming works well assuming you are streaming files supported by the players (Sonos and PS3). There is a bug related to how the DNS-325 works on the PS3 consoles: the PS3 consoles do not present the folder structure and file names in sorted order. This makes it difficult to find the file you want to use. It is my understanding the next update of the software for the DNS-325 will fix this problem, but that remains to be seen. I did not have this problem with the previous server that I replaced (HP MediaVault).

I have been using this NAS for about 4 months and it has worked well for my home networking needs. I have been able to successfully access files outside of the home network which was pretty simple with the D-Link software and free DNS website. My only gripe is that after completing a firmware update my P2P folder is hidden so it is completely inacessible within windows eplorer. It is still accessible within the internet page, but it has a file size limit of 2 GB so it has locked me away from some files until it gets resolved. Tech Support couldn't offer any reliable help.
