I just purchased this unit without realizing there is a HDD compatibility list. I was thinking of installing of WD Caviar Green HDDs in this unit. It appears they are not on this list. I was planning to do RAID 1. Am I out of luck which I need to return this unit? The model #s are: WD20EARS-00MVWB1 (2TB) and WD10EARS-00Y5B1 (1TB).

Since the HDD line is not on the list, you'll have to reference the experiences of other users in this forum who tried that HDD and use your best judgement. If you search around this forum y(and the DNS-320 forum) you're bound to find some threads on the subject.  :-\

Another hard drive to add to the DNS-325 list...

I installed two Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001, 7200.12, SATA, 3TB about a month ago in RAID-1 configuration.   The only issue was the firmware, which I had to upgrade to 1.02 before it would recognize the larger hard drives.  Curiously, the drives are marked on the box as STBD3000100.   But the DNS-325 reports the first number I listed above.

Add WD25EZRS-00J99B0. 2.5TB WD drive. Used for about 2 weeks in standard type configuration. Now using it in a RAID1 setting along with the WD20EARX (2TB WD), which also is working just fine. Both are SATA 6G.

The first list below contains published D-Link approved and verified Hard Drives (HDDs). The second list contains HDDs tested by D-Link forum community end users. If you would like to contribute a HDD you personally tested to this list, please post the HDD make/model/capacity, configuration, length of time in use, and observations (e.g. stability, performance, etc) as a reply to this thread.

**Disclaimer: HDDs labeled with "**" were published on the official D-Link Russia FTP site on December 5, 2011. Since these HDDs do not reside on the official D-Link U.S. FTP site, D-Link U.S. does not guarantee the compatibility of those HDDs with U.S. DNS-343 hardware. Additionally, this list was not accompanied with a narrative describing the level of compatibility with different HDD configurations (e.g. Standard Configuration, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD).

"D-Link U.S. does not guarantee the compatibility of those HDDs with U.S. DNS-343 hardware".....

DNS-343????? We are talking about DNS-325 :-).

Anyway my HDD is "Seagate - Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS - 1 TB" (HDD labeled with "**" in b/m list) and it is fully recognized and supported by DNS-325 (firmware 1.02), so Russian FTP site, this time, is right :-).

The first list below contains published D-Link approved and verified Hard Drives (HDDs). The second list contains HDDs tested by D-Link forum community end users. If you would like to contribute a HDD you personally tested to this list, please post the HDD make/model/capacity, configuration, length of time in use, and observations (e.g. stability, performance, etc) as a reply to this thread.

*Disclaimer: Hard Drives (HDDs) categorized as tested by end users were neither internally tested nor verified by D-Link. As such, users who opt to purchase HDDs on this list categorized as tested by end-users for their ShareCenter DNS-325 do so at their own risk.

**Disclaimer: HDDs labeled with "**" were published on the official D-Link Russia FTP site on December 5, 2011. Since these HDDs do not reside on the official D-Link U.S. FTP site, D-Link U.S. does not guarantee the compatibility of those HDDs with U.S. DNS-325 hardware. Additionally, this list was not accompanied with a narrative describing the level of compatibility with different HDD configurations (e.g. Standard Configuration, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD). As such, users who opt to purchase any of these HDDs for their DNS-343 do so at their own risk.

Hi

This is confusing so please allow the less techie than the usual people to ask for simple answers - I have the DNS-325 with 3TB WD Green drives and can only see 767GB. There's a lot of material here about which additional drivers and what all - please, someone, explain in simple terms what I need to download, from where, what to do with it and then I will have the full Raid 1 3 TB (2 X 3TB) available...

Thanks!

Gerard

DNS-325
*Problem with two band new WD30EZRX drives.
I have searched the web for several hours and I'm pretty sure I've covered all possible reasons for the problem…except that these disks are not compatible with the WD30EZRX...or both brand new drives are faulty???

I have spoken to D-Link support - case ID (C05635611).  Since these disks are not on their ‘official’ list, they had nothing to offer…except that I would have to buy 2 new ‘supported’ disks.

The 325 correctly see the drives as 3TB and the initialization process competes.
When the formatting hard drive process starts, it freezes at 0%.
After 30 minutes, still at 0%.
The drive light is on … steady no flickering.  Cannot hear the disk spinning
The 325 power light is off

The 325 has been working well since Oct 2011.  When I put the 1 TB drives back in, all is well…

Here's what I have done:
1)   Reinstalled the firmware 1.02 (09/30/2011)
2)   Added only one drive to the 325 (i.e. one bay empty) tried both Left and Right sides
3)   Hard reset the unit back to factory (reset button on back).
4)   Tried to install the disk using first the D-Link software and then the web interface
5)   Tried to format  the drives in my old Windows 7 box.  The drive is not recognized as 3 GB; it is shows the size around 720 MB.
My main computer is a mini mac, so I have no other way to test these disks.   Given the success of others, I suspect both of these disks could be faulty????

If there are any suggestions of what I can try next, it would be very much appreciated (outside of spending another $300+ for new drives)

Thanks

Although this model is not officially supported by D-Link, the compatibility list contains to users who reported successfully using this model HDD (one in standard mode and the other in RAID-1). Checking the obvious first, re-validate that you did in fact install FW v1.02. Only the latest FW will recognize 3TB HDDs at their full capacity. The problem you are describing is typically indicative of using older FW. Also, physically inspect the HDDs themselves, do the labels say "WD30EZRX" and "3TB"?  ???
Title: Re: DNS-325 - Compatible HDDs
Post by: dgathome on June 25, 2012, 08:43:04 AM
Thank you for responding to my problem…

Both drives (label) clearly state: 3.0TB WD30EZRX
I downloaded the firmware from the Canadian DLink website: http://www.dlink.ca/products/default.aspx?pid=DNS-325&tab=3

Post upgrade my DNS-325 clearly shows that the 1.02 is the current firmware.

Here’s a few more things I can test
1)   I will test the 325 by formatting a 1 TB drive (a matching spare to my operating Raid 1)
2)   If this works, I will try reverting back to firmware 1.01, and then upgrading again (this time I’ll download the firmware from the US DLink site)

Thanks for the update. Please post back with your results.
Are there other DNS-325 owners who successfully (or unsuccessfully) used this model HDD?

Update re WD30EZRX problem.
Not good news…

Cannot revert back to FW 1.01.   The 325 reports an error “Upload Firmware Fail.  Please retry again”.   Tried downloading from both the US and the CA DLink download sites-The 325 web app gives an error on both attempts.

Reinstalled the US FW 1.02.   Same problem.  Stalls when starting the disk format.   The system shows the format progress bar but there is no drive activity.   

From what I have read, it surely looks like the FW 10.2 did not install correctly????
*I was able to format a Hitachi HDT72010SLA360  1TB without any problem.

Looks like I'm out of options

Has DLink validated any 3TB drives? 

From your list is appears not...If I was to purchase different 3TB HDs, I would likely run into the same problem.

As I've indicated in my earlier post, the WD30EZRX is in D-Link's european compatibility list since 04-Oct-2011.

Once a DNS-325 is upgraded to FW v1.02, the unit cannot revert back to FW v1.01. D-Link indicated that this constraint was included by design. In any event, FW v1.01 does not support 3TB HDDs, while FW v1.02 does support 3TB HDDs.

As I've indicated in my earlier post, the WD30EZRX is in D-Link's european compatibility list since 04-Oct-2011.

The WD30EZRX is now posted on a US compatibility list (see my prior post).

Thanks for the updated list and confirming that the WD30EZRX has been verified by DLink.

Update re WD30EZRX problem.
* YES good news…and a few more challenges

My experience with 3TB and the 325 was NOT plug and play.
1)   In Win7 under - Computer/Manage/Disk Manager:  remove/delete all volumes and create a single simple volume (2794.52 GB), format using defaults (did not use quick – format took approx. 5 hours)
2)   DNS-325 (ok now) formatted as a single volume without any issues
3)   In Win7 Disk Manager, quick formatted the 2nd disk
4)   In the 325, added the second disk and selected Raid 1 – it appeared to work but it formatted degraded
5)   In Win7, tried to format under Win7, but is froze at 4%
6)   Now Win7 cannot detect the disk under BIOS and Disk Manager - WD Data LifeGuard cannot detect the disk…
7)   Now waiting for a replacement disk from WD

I am not expecting any issues with the replacement disk

Update - Aug 23rd, 2012.  Took some time to receive the replacement disk.
The bad disk was the issue.

All is well now.  This confirms that WD30EZRX 3TB are compatible...

I'm glad things are starting to look up for you (and your DNS-325). Let's hope that a bad HDD is the culprit. Please post back when you receive your replacement.

Title: Re: DNS-325 - Compatible HDDs
Post by: jwatkins36 on August 07, 2012, 08:05:23 PM
I have a pair of Seagate 500GB drives running in RAID 1 for well over a year with no problems. But I was running out of space, and came on the D-link boards to see what 2TB drives were recommended. To my surprise, the only D-link tested drives of this size were not available anymore.

After some research on these boards and on the internet, I have decided to change the drive configuration in my DNS-325 & DNS-321 from RAID 1 to Standard before I have any problems. This is because my Seagate drives were not Enterprise edition drives, or RE drives. What I found was:

"RAID-specific time-limited error recovery (TLER) - Pioneered by WD, this feature prevents drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives."

Do you agree? I know I have to backup my data and reformat both drives. What do you think?

The DNS-325 has 2 500 GB Seagate ST3500320AS drives installed, running RAID 1.
The DNS-321 has 2 160 GB ExcelStor Technology drives installed running RAID 1.

Please add Seagate model ST3500320AS 500 GB, ran RAID 1 for well over a year.

Now both drives set to standard mode. Still running fine after 1 week.

Has anyone tried the new Western Digital RED drives?

Western Digital Red WD10EFRX 1 TB WD SATA III Intellipower 64 MB Cache
Western Digital Red WD20EFRX 2 TB WD SATA III Intellipower 64 MB cache
Western Digital Red WD30EFRX 3 TB WD SATA III Intellipower 64 MB Cache

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=810

Per the website:

"Western Digital Red is the only hard drive designed for NAS systems that have 1-5 drive bays.
Available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 3 TB, WD Red is designed specifically for home and small office NAS systems.
The drives are extensively tested for compatibility and reliability in the demanding operating environment of a 24x7 NAS system.
WD's exclusive NASware firmware technology enables seamless integration and balanced performance.
Innovative technology reduces power consumption and lowers the operating temperature, and with a 35% improvement in MTBF over desktop drives, WD Red is a more reliable and robust NAS hard drive solution"

Per Western Digital, these drives have been tested and are compatible with the following D-Link NAS:

DNS-1100-04
DNS-1550-04
DNS-1250-04 (US only)
DNS-1200-05
DNS-1250-06 (US only)

This sounds like the solution I was looking for, but I wanted to find out if D-Link was going to test these 3 drives and sign off on their compatibility with the DNS-320, 321, 323, 325 and 343?  Thank you!  ;D

From reading the WD marketing material you provided, it looks like these HDDs were designed for and tested on enterprise environments/hardware (i.e. rack mounted).

I don't work for Western digital, but I was excited about these drives, which are not made for Enterprise environments:
( those drive are the Western Digital RE class)

These drive are made specifically for Home NAS drives that have 1-5 drive bays running RAID.
From what I read:

"Western Digital Red is the only hard drive designed for NAS systems that have 1-5 drive bays"

WD Red is designed specifically for home and small office NAS systems"

NASware: Intelligent error recovery

With built in intelligent error recovery controls, NASware also prevents hard drives from being dropped off the RAID due to extended error recovery.  This provides more availability and less down time rebuilding the RAID.

This might be the case, but the DNS models that were tested (as per your earlier post) are all business class and rackmount systems. . . Very confused marketing.  ???

Are you sure D-Link can't confirm compatibility with the new Western Digital RED drives and the smaller D-Link NAS units, like the DNS-320, DNS-321, DNS-325 and DNS-343....

Otherwise, the Drobo's look like the best way to go. Please reconsider.  Thank you!

Based on the cross compatibility between all of the products you mentioned, I would presume there is a high likelihood of compatibility, although you'll have to either test this for yourself or look for other DNS-325 owners who tested these HDDs. Unfortunately, D-Link does not take HDD compatibility requests. Aside from the periodic compatibility lists D-Link publishes, this forum is the next best source for such information based on DNS-325 owner contributions.


Western Digital tested their new RED series drives with the following NAS systems:

Since Western Digital reported full compatibility, I ordered and finally received 2 Western Digital REDs - WD20EFRX - 2TB drives.

Since I knew the drives were coming, my data was already backed up, so I formatted the old 500 GB Seagate drives, and moved them to my older DNS-321 and set them up in Standard mode.

Then I installed the 2 - WD20EFRX - 2TB drives in the DNS-325 and set them up running RAID 1.

I spent most of Sunday transferring my media back to the DNS-325.

I am happy to report all is working fine, and the DNS-325 has never been quieter.   ;D

Many forum members set their preferences so the most recent post is listed first (up top), which would make it rather laborious to go back to the original post.  Showing the evolution of the list is also important for discussions that sometimes spawn from recent contributions.

Hi all,

I just bought the unit and two western digital red 2TB drives to go with it.
The western digital website indicates that they've done extensive tests with the DNS-325 and has the unit lsted as compatible.

The part number is WD20EFRX-68AX9N0

Thanks. . . The WD20EFRX is already on the list.  And yes, the DNS-325 is listed on the WD website as a compatible device.

Just because it's missing from the compatibility matrix doesn't necessarily mean the HDD won't work, it just hasn't been tested (the HDD should work). However, that's a risk you'll have to assume unless either D-Link or other ShareCenter owners test the HDD first.

The only 4 TB Seagate HDDs on the compatibility list are


This is not to say that other models won't also work, these are only the models that D-Link tested.

Good Day,

Seagate is promoting their Seagate ST4000VN000 has NASDrives.
They even list DLINK has compatible.

But this drive doesnt seem to be on the official DLINK list.

So can we trust them and have it work on the DNS-325 without "issues"??

Thanks for pointing out Seagate's validation, I'll add that to the list we're maintaining here. As far as the D-Link compatibility list is concerned, those are only the HDDs that D-Link tested. So although we won't know for sure, it's very possible that HDDs missing from that list may be compatible with ShareCenter models, but simply weren't tested by D-Link.

I just purchased a Seagate 4tb drive - ST4000DM000-1F21.  I am guessing it isn't compatible as I don't see the full capacity, or perhaps there is a trick to make it work.

OK, update time ... this Seagate 4tb drive is up and running with the proper size reported back after reformatting:  3665.59GB .  I think what may have happened is that when I added the drive and began its formatting i aborted as I wasn't sure it wasn't going to format the first drive in the 325.  I do believe the wording could be clarified in certain spots - that no data is lost on an existing drive when a new drive is added and formatted as a Standard drive.

I just purchased a Seagate 4tb drive - ST4000DM000-1F21.  I am guessing it isn't compatible as I don't see the full capacity, or perhaps there is a trick to make it work.

No, this thread only includes compatible internal HDDs that mount inside the DNS-325.

Hello, I have a pair of new SEAGATE Constellation™ ES.3 ST4000NM0033 and was planning on buying a DNS325. I see these drives in the compatibility list, but in RED typeface. Does this mean they do not work?
Thank you.

Thank you.

I made all the 4TB HDDs red so they stand out (i.e. easier to see on the list).

I just bought it and installed the disks. I have firmware 1.03. Even though I can select RAID 1 it sets up two separate 4TB volumes. One on each disk. Any tips/clues?

Thank you.

I split your question into a new thread: DNS-325 - HDD Configuration Issue (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=59302.0)

Can you guys tell me what's the different between standard Seagate HDD 2 TB (http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STBV2000100/dp/B00834SJS0) and Seagate CCTV & Surveillance 3.5" 2TB (http://www.lazada.co.th/seagate-sv35-cctv-surveillance-35-2tb-sata-iii-cache64mb-7200rpm-st2000vx000-93325.html). I really don't get about these things. is Seagate CCTV & Surveillance 3.5" 2TB can be used as a standard HDD?

Thanks ;)

I posted this in the regular forum a while ago, regarding the 6TB WD Reds.  The only update is these have continued to be working fine, just added about 200 GB more data since then.

I have ~2TB of data on both of my 6TB Reds on my DNS-345 and have been using them daily for about 5-1/2 months without any issues.  The DNS-325 and DNS-345 are comparable as far as HDD compatibility are concerned.
