It's good to know the 1.06 firmware has been released. I know the DNS-323 user community was eagerly waiting for the 1.5TB hard drive support. It would be good to know if the DDNS fixes eliminate the problem I saw with too frequent updates which caused the Dynalias.org account to get suspended.

Latest What's new? What bay is drive bay number 1? I have found about 50 articles written on different websites, none of them say which bay is which. I would think that would be a big point to make for people needing to replace a drive. This article is the best written one I have found but it still lacks (That I have seen) which bay is which. Thank you, Kevin |
