This ShareCenter 1-Bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) from D-Link includes backup and media features that make it ideal for storing and sharing photos, music, movies and work files on a home network.

This ShareCenter storage device enables users to share documents and media content such as photos, music and videos via their home network or over the Internet. File access is easy and straightforward with the built-in web file server, which allows users to browse and download stored files over the Internet. More advanced users can manage the contents of their ShareCenter from any FTP client.

The built-in DLNA-certified media server will stream files on your ShareCenter to any compatible media player such as the PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Boxee Box by D-Link over your local network. ShareCenter allows for multiple simultaneous streams, so you can watch a movie on your TV while someone else listens to music streamed from their laptop.

The ShareCenter 1-Bay Network Storage can be tailored to you needs with powerful add-ons that enhance functionality and allow you to do more. With AjaXplorer you can share files over the Internet on any web browser. PhotoCenter will create professional photo galleries and slideshows, and with the Blog add-on, you can create your own blog and always keep it updated.

This device is compatible with Apple's Time Machine. Users of Apple computers can use this powerful feature to backup their valuable files and computer settings directly onto the ShareCenter, or perform a full system recovery in case a computer fails.

The ShareCenter 1-Bay Network Storage device comes pre-installed with 1TB (DNS-315-1TB) or 2TB (DNS-315-2TB) drives, for a ready-made solution. Choose the ShareCenter that suits your storage needs, set it up through the simple installation wizard and you are ready to go.

This ShareCenter has a Gigabit port for the fastest connectivity possible to your home network through your router. The USB port allows you to backup memory sticks for example from your digital camera easily at the touch of a button. You can even connect a USB printer and share it with every user in your network, courtesy of the SharePort technology.

The confidentiality and integrity of all your files is guaranteed as you can give rights to specific users or groups and assign them to folders with read/write permissions. This function is ideal for the home, where children's access can be restricted to only age-appropriate materials, while ensuring that nobody can delete your files by accident.

For extra protection, you can sign up with the Amazon S3 service to get cloud storage as a backup for your important files. ShareCenter will automatically upload backup copies of your most important files and folders onto the Amazon S3 servers.

The DNS-315 ShareCenter is part of D-Link Green, D-Link's program for providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance: if the hard drive is not used in a configurable period of time, or data is not being transmitted, the ShareCenter will enter stand-by mode to save power. Also, the silent fan will adapt its speed depending on the hard drive temperature.
