The Synology DiskStation DS918+ is a robust network-attached storage (NAS) server designed for small to medium-sized businesses and advanced home users. It serves as a centralized hub for data storage, backup, and management, supporting a wide range of applications such as file sharing, email hosting, domain control, and multimedia streaming. The device is built around an Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core processor, which provides efficient performance for multitasking and handling multiple server roles simultaneously. With 8GB of DDR3L memory, the DS918+ ensures smooth operation even under heavy workloads.
The DS918+ features a hybrid storage configuration that combines high-speed solid-state drives (SSDs) with large-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs). It includes two 128GB M.2 SSDs, totaling 256GB of fast storage for caching and system operations. Additionally, it comes with four 2TB SATA HDDs, providing a total of 8TB of storage capacity for bulk data storage. This combination allows users to balance speed and capacity effectively.
The NAS is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and failover, ensuring reliable and high-speed network connectivity. It also includes two USB 3.0 ports and one eSATA port for external storage expansion or direct device connectivity. The device runs on Synology's DSM (DiskStation Manager) operating system, which offers a user-friendly interface and a suite of applications for managing files, backups, surveillance, cloud synchronization, and more.
Security is a key focus of the DS918+, with features such as AES 256-bit encryption, two-factor authentication, and the Security Advisor tool to help users identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. It also supports advanced roles like a 4K multimedia server, desktop backup solution, and surveillance station for monitoring security cameras.
The NAS chassis is delivered in a sealed box, but the included hard drives and memory modules are not pre-installed. Users will need to install them themselves. This allows for customization based on specific needs but requires some technical knowledge or assistance during setup.
