Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

While waiting for my new DNS-323 to be delivered I am actually reading the manual. The manual states:
"Ext2 providing better performance and Ext3 providing better support for crash recovery"
To what extent is performance compromised using EXT2 (as compared to EXT3)?
I intend to use a RAID 1 array because I do want to protect the stored files from a hardware failure. What do the words "...support for crash recovery" really mean and what kind of crashes are they referring to (hard drive failure, corrupted files, DNS-232 failure, etc)?
Any insight into this would be very helpful.

If you want to use the latest firmware, you have to use EXT2...ext3 was removed as an option, I believe due to stability issues that ext3 had in the previous firmware versions.

Thanks. Appreciate the fast response. I guess my questions are now just a moot point.

DO NOT USE EXT-3!!!!!!!! I lost 400 GB of data due to D-Link's mess up. Then they removed it in later firmware. And do not put in an additional disk, it formated my existing one with over 700 gb data.... I have lost over 1.1 TB of data due to the bad software in the DNS... just a warning

I dont know what happen with your disk upgrade, but I just put a 2nd 500g drive in mine about 5 hrs ago, and it stated it was going to format it and leave the orig alone. That is exactly what it did and everything was intact.....

Perhaps ultrabrutals issue was caused by having two different sized drives?!

Ultrabrutal seems to have just been unlucky - I have an 80 & a 250 in mine - and I frequently remove the 250 and replace it with other drives, a process which of course requires the drive to be formatted, and so far I have not lost the contents of the 80.
