Status of D-Link DNS-323 support

The D-Link DNS-323 is no longer supported by Debian.
Conceptronic CH3SNAS from the front

The D-Link DNS-323 is based on a Marvell Orion System on a Chip. Marvell has done a lot of work to get support for the Orion platform into the mainline kernel. However, some features of the Orion platform are not as well supported as in the original Marvell LSP (Linux Support Package) used by D-Link. Please take this into account before deciding whether you want to install Debian, especially if you have specific requirements (e.g. related to performance).

The table below shows how well different components of the D-Link DNS-323 are supported by Debian 8 (jessie). The device is no longer supported as of Debian 9 (stretch).
