Topic: NAS D-Link DNS-320L

The content of this topic has been archived on 22 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

This is cheap and pretty good NAS, but there is no firmware images of OpenWrt for it.
To find patch and fan daemon ask google: aboehler dns-320l (forum does not allow me to post links)
Patch is works with Barrier Breaker with minimal modifications. To build daemon, add defines _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE.

What did you mean by cheap? How much did you pay for it?

Yes and you can post the link.

Thanks.

BTW, can you login to your DNS-320L? If so, does it have hdparm that you can use it to test its HDD performance, i.e. hdparm -Tt /dev/sdX (where X is the HDD)?

DNS-320L is cheaper than more popular Synology, QNAP and Asus models. I bought my device for ~80$. Also great advantage of device is hardware watchdog.

No, I can't:

root@OpenWrt:/dev# hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   458 MB in  2.01 seconds = 228.07 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 286 MB in  3.01 seconds =  94.88 MB/sec

Tested on Samsung HD503HI.

That is not bad, but it definitely is beyond my budget. A year a go, I bought a used Seagate GoFLEX Home with 1 TB HDD under $20 and have been using it since.

Wow, I did not know that.

That is not bad at all.

The discussion might have continued from here.
