  • Synology DS418 Line - What you need to know
Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4 Style: DS418
Synology is probably the best NAS system and almost always a good investment. The web-based graphical DSM software is the best available and continuously updated. The DS418 line has dual LAN ports to provide Link Aggregation. This allows you to transfer data at up to 226MB/s over 2 Ethernet lines (with each line maxing out at around 110MB/s which is basically as fast as Gigabit Ethernet can go). However, if you are considering the DS418, spend the extra $50 and get at least the DS418play. Synology’s marketing info can be confusing regarding exactly what the difference is between the models (i.e. what do you really get for the “j”, “play”, “+” suffix). In the product side-by-side comparisons, they all show similar capabilities. For example, all the DS418 models show that they will play the same media. However, the DS418 won’t hardware transcode media files (you have to get at least the DS418play for that). Even if you don’t care about DLNA transcoding, the DS418 uses a Realtek ARM CPU which won’t run Plex, Dockers, or probably most future server tech. The DS418play and up are based on Intel CPUs which will hardware transcode, run Plex, VMware and Dockers and is way more future-proof. The Intel CPUs also provide a bit more horsepower for encryption and other server activity. If you are going to spend the money, get at least the DS418play. If you are really into streaming, the DS918+ can stream 2 4k videos simultaneously while the DS418play can only stream one at a time. If multiple users need to stream 4K videos simultaneously or you want to use the eSATA port to connect the 5-Bay expansion DX517 NAS, then you have to spend the big bucks on the DS918+. Otherwise, the DS418play is your best bang for the buck. ... show more

  • Overpriced
Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4 Style: DS418
I really like Synology devices, generally, and I recommend and defend them typically. However, the prices for some of their devices has always been a problem for me and I am rarely happy unless I can buy it used/refurbished. As an example, if you compare the DS118, DS218 and DS418 you will notice that they all are basically the same unit with the same system board inside. Realtek RTD1296 Quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU, 1 or 2GB of RAM, USB 3.0, 1 or 2 Gigabit ethernet, etc. From a manufacturing perspective, the 2 and 4 bay models are just the 1 bay model with a little bit of extra plastic and a longer backplane board. Yet the 4 bay model is more than double the price!! This is absolutely a case of Synology taking advantage of customers who would naively think that the 4 bay model should cost a bunch more. No, we are talking a few more dollars in plastic and PCB and a RAM chip and a couple more backplane connectors and trays. Beyond that, you have a few more dollars tied up in a larger box and a few more for shipping, etc. Sorry, $200 more for the 4 bay compare to the 1 bay is an outright scam. The same issue has existed with their expansion units since their inception. The 5 bay expansion unit which has hardly any electronics inside costs almost $500! This is more realistically $100 worth of stuff at typical manufacturing prices, yet Synology knows people are going to be none the wiser and will probably be in a pinch anyway. If it is cheaper to simply buy another Synology than buy the expansion unit, you know there is something shady going on. ... show more

  • Buy this now, it just works!!
Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4 Style: DS418
The media could not be loaded. As a photographer I have run through my laptop storage (250GB) and my additional external 500GB storage, so after a number of YouTube videos I settled on the Synology DS418 as a solution for this problem. Looking for in purchase: -Sturdy -Value -Hot Swap -Link Aggregation -Easy Setup -Four Bays Minimum Design: The design of this product is sleek and well designed, while it is a plastic it seems to be a sturdy and hard plastic that will last for a significant amount of time. There is a USB port in the back along with 2x 1GB LAN ports (link Aggregation compatible) and a USB port up front. There are four bays that all have access from the front and the bays are lockable. Size is not a significant issue and it fits easily on a cart shelf. Issues: The setup on the computer is not as easy as I thought it was going to be, but as long as you take time to read instructions online there is no significant problems. I believe that the time to get everything online is somewhere between 1-3 hours depending on how computer savvy you are (it took me 3-4 hours, to set up four different storage areas on the NAS (2x Time Machine Backups, a folder for my photography and a folder for general family storage, then to provide access to mine and my wife’s computers to where everything worked seamlessly). All of that said none of it is a real issue, because Synology directions are fantastic. Cost: $369.99 (and worth every penny) Positives: ++Cost ++Link Aggregation ++Hot-Swap Capability ++Design ++Build Quality ++Noise Negatives: --None Final Thoughts: I LOVE THIS. It is so nice to free up hard drive space on the computer and to get rid of all the dongles needed for all the external stuff. The system works flawlessly and after it is setup and about a day of playing with it everything seems really intuitive. I set this up with 2x WD 2TB RED drives and the system was up after plugging it in, following the basic instructions and some auto updating (total of about 20 mins). I have one volume with four folders (2 Time Machine Backups, a folder for photos, and a general storage folder) that are have dedicated space and users assigned to them. The backups work with no issues and our MacBooks link right to the system, even if we go away for travel and come back. I can’t believe I have been asleep at the wheel when it comes to NAS and I will never use cloud storage again. Especially when I can access my NAS anywhere in the world via the internet with just a couple of clicks. Would I recommend: Yes, 5 Stars and easily would recommend the system to anyone who needs a system. ... show more
