6D-Link ShareCenter DNS-325 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
Checking the Hardware Requirements
To use your ShareCenter™, you will need at least one hard drive. If you plan to use RAID, which protects your data against one
hard drive failure, you will need at least two hard drives.
Note: For the ShareCenter
™, we recommend that you use at least four 1TB high performance drives. This provides more data
drives, better striping performance, and helps distribute loads more eectively.
This section will help you:
• Select the hard drives you will use
• Choose the amount of space to have available on those drives
• Ensure your data is protected
• Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch
Selecting Hard Drives:
You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your ShareCenter
™. All D-Link devices support
standard 3.5” internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, ask your administrator or hard drive retailer/manufacturer to verify that
your hard drives meet this standard
Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.
