Review: D-Link DNS-313 NAS

Feature-rich Nas device

Written by Emil Larsen

With this barebones network-attached storage (Nas) device all you have to do is add your own 3.5in Sata hard disk.

This screw-less design only requires you to pull a lever to get the drive out.

As well as a Gigabit Ethernet connection, there's a USB connection so you can connect it directly to a PC.

It will stream media thanks to a built-in UPnP client and an FTP server lets you access your files from a browser. Sadly, there's no Bit Torrent support.

It's disappointing to see an external power brick as well as a fan in the main unit, since this means it could be annoying in a quiet room.

Verdict

Overall Not the cheapest and we don't like the fan, but the device is feature rich.
