Review on πŸ’Ύ Diskless Synology DS118 NAS DiskStation with 1 Bay by Boyan Mechkov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

At first, the 2022nd year was put on the previous disk. The system was a complete and utter failure. After I removed it and replaced it with a WD red disk, the device's performance significantly improved. Whoever makes the decision to purchase, I advise them not to be greedy but rather to purchase the disk that is recommended (for nas, it is printed on the red series). With its positives being: 1) A low usage of power under constant conditions 2) A wide variety of customizable options for using the backup system are available. 3) Completely carries out the functionality that has been defined (for the residence). Having these drawbacks: There are drawbacks, but they become apparent once the system is put into operation and more often have to do with the decisions that need to be made when purchasing a model to suit your needs. For instance, licensing for the Synology MailPlus Server are quite pricey, and this particular package is not offered on this model. As another illustration, this model does not support virtualization. DS218+ costs approximately thirty dollars as of today (12/11/2022), however you may instead purchase DS220+, which will provide Synology High Availability in addition to two LAN ports. It is also possible that the built-in VPN, openvpn, will only look at the local network; in this case, configuring extra subnets will not be possible. It's the little things, I.T.P.
