I applied the firmware today on may DNS325 and it worked from the beginning. I am running two 2.0TB disks in a RAID1 configuration. Although I made a complete backup (of course...) - there was no data-loss, no problem at all. Just the folder structure changed slightly but this is no problem from my point of view. So from me a big Thank You! for this piece of software which gave my NAS another few years of live ;-)

I found an old DNS-323 in the closet. This firmware breathed new life into it, with tons of extra functions. It is very usable. Much better than stock firmware.
