Instead of trusting DLink with an off the shelf NAS, it might be easier to build your own with a Raspberry Pi running openmediavault hooked up to a couple of USB hard drives. It's worked well for me for over 6 years now with no issue and could cost way less.

“Easier“, no. Not for the average person on the street.

Don't get me wrong, I've built several NAS over the years (dropped OMV for just Arch and the packages I want) and loaded OpenWRT (etc) on routers

But, building my own NAS, servicing my own car, repairing my own house, felling my own trees, at some point I'll just lack knowledge and buy something simple / pay someone to do it... and that's where cheap consumer electronics fits (unfortunately)
