Background and Identification
The Synology DiskStation DS918+ is a four-bay Network-Attached Storage device. A Network-Attached Storage device is a file-level (as opposed to block-level storage) computer data storage server that is connected to a computer network. The device provides data access to a group of clients and is specialized for serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration. NAS systems are often produced as computer appliances produced with specialized purposes. Network-attached storage systems remove the responsibility of file serving from other servers on the network.
The Synology DiskStation DS918+ includes 4 GB of DDR3L-1866 memory that is expandable up to 8 GB. It is also scalable up to nine drives with the Synology DX517. It includes a quad-core processor with an AES-NI hardware encryption engine. It features an advanced file system offering 65,000 system-wide snapshots and 1,024 snapshots per shared folder. The Synology DiskStation DS918+ is compatible with HDD/SSD, IP cameras, surveillance devices, routers, network cards, and other devices.
According to a review of the Synology DiskStation DS918+ by TechRadar, the NAS device has a wide range of configuration options and the Synology app ecosystem offers good solutions to set up the device. However, the Synology DiskStation DS918+ costs over $500, which makes it a pricey investment. Also, its 4K transcoding is sometimes inconsistent.
The Synology DiskStation DS918+ includes the name “Synology” on the side of its rectangular body.
