Checking the Hardware you Need
To use your DNS-345, 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: We recommend that you use four high performance drives with at least 1TB each. This provides
more data capacity, better striping performance, and helps distributes loads more effectively.
This section helps you:
• Select the hard drive(s)
• Choose the amount of drive space to have available on those drives to 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 for
your DNS-345. The D-Link ShareCenter supports 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.
Determining How Much Hard Drive Space you Need:
In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your DNS-345 requires
more space than what you will use for your data, sometimes more than
double the amount of space required.
