New four bay DNS preview article:


D-Link DNS-345 ShareCenter Quattro – A new 4-Bay NAS
– September 23, 2011

Today i’ve search through the various country-FTP-sites of D-Link and found a few hints regarding a new NAS from D-Link, the DNS-345. The NAS is a 4-Bay-NAS featuring nearly everything you might dream of. But i’ll begin from the start.

According to the Datasheet (Mirror) and the Manual (Mirror), the DNS-345 can hold up to 12TB of S-ATA-Harddisks (4*3TB) which can be configured as RAID 1/5/5+Hotspare/10/Single Disk/JBOD. The data can be transferred using the two 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet Ports, which can be configured for Link Aggregation in various modes.

The Front bezel contains a OLED Display with 128×32 Pixels resolution which can show various informations about the current state of the device like the System Information/Temperature, LAN/Volume status and USB Backups.

The device weights 2.7kg, it’s dimensions are (W*D*H) 128 x 200 x 178 mm. It operates from 0°C to 40°C. The external power adapter provides 19V with 4.74A; the NAS consumes about 53W in normal operation and 13.5W in Sleep mode.

The most important thing: The device is fun_plug-enabled!

The DNS-345 ShareCenter Quattro is now listed on the D-Link UK site: DNS-345

Will there be a "trade in your useless DNS343" program?

[iuliand]

That translates into "there will be no future fw update for dns-343"

Will there be a "trade in your useless DNS343" program?

If your DNS-343 is within the manufacturer warranty and not servicable, D-Link typically issues an RMA for a replacement DNS-343. For out-of-warranty products, there are no trade-in options.

D-Link does not openly publish the release schedule for beta or public firmware releases. The company has not provided any indication, one way or the other, whether new firmware is forthcoming.

Any ideas on when this will actually be available to buy? Many online retailers don't list it and those that do have 0 stock (i.e. haven't received any units)

I'll post that information as soon as I hear something. For now, the unit isn't even on the official ShareCenter site.

i have a dns 345 ShareCenter Quattro, the beta firmware dont restart/close sharecenter proberly (sorry my english) i would close sharecenter but it would NOT do it. and when i try too install the firmware again, it will not take the firmware . anyone hoo can help thaks 

[JavaLawyer]

Did you try resetting the DNS-345 to the factory default settings using the reset button on the rear of the unit.  While the DNS-345 is powered up, press and hold the reset button on the rear of the unit for > 5 seconds. This procedure will erase all your user settings and configurations but should not impact your HDD configuration or data.

I wish I could help further, but I don't own a DNS-345, so I'm not familiar with the operation/functionality of second Ethernet port. Unfortunately, the DNS-345 isn't sold in the United States, else I would have owned one by now. I presume you live (or purchased) your DNS-345 overseas.

thanks for trying, i live in denmark  thanks for your reply
