Purchased this in November 2005. Noisy fan from day one and some issues initially mapping drives.
DNS-312H: Drive mapping
The default server name is \\dns-300\ and is customisable. You are able to specify the workgroup in which to use for your network.
The DNS-300 appears to use SMB sharing (\\dns-300\) and hence is streets ahead in this area.
I can access other users "home" shares by simply putting in \\dns-300\user1, \\dns-300\user2, \\dns-300\user3 etc.. even though I am connected to it as user1, prior to the disk change this just simply didn't happen.
I just have it setup as mapped drives and i usually just type in \\dns-300 when I'm looking for it.
DNS-312H: Drive mapping
This device supports windows file sharing. i.e. reachable by \\hd1\hdd_0 for example. To the people that think this plus the drives makes it overall too expensive, thats what I thought when I bought DLink's single-drive enclosure the GSM-D600 - after some months of using it however i've come to rely on it heavily because it's extremely handy having it attached to my home LAN via gigabit ethernet since with 8 computers including two HTPC's in the house, its the one windows share that's ALWAYS availability and you don't have to leave a PC on 24x7 to have access to the data.
DNS-312H: Noisy Fan
Making the DNS-300 Quiet. | posted 2006-Mar-7, 8am AEST | |
Forum Regular | I don't remember how the internal fan was attached... padding where it rests against the housing might help. Essentially from memory the outer casing is sort of resonating from the fan vibration. padding the contact points or buying a higher quality fan of the same size might reduce the problem. You also might be able to shut it up by sticking felt feet to it then putting something heavy on it or wrapping some rubber bands around the case. | posted 2006-Mar-7, 12pm AEST |
Participant | I have tried the rubber feet trick, it actually made it worse. | posted 2006-Mar-7, 1pm AEST |
