Review on πŸ’Ύ Diskless Synology DS218+ 2-bay NAS DiskStation by Kiril Stanoychev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I considered creating my own NAS or purchasing one like this for a very long time. Purchased DS218 and have never looked back; everything works and there is no tambourine dancing. Save a ton of time by setting it up once and forgetting it. I utilize drive-video-audio-photo-station, dlna, as well as disk synchronization, access via smb, and nfs. The realtek processor and 2GB of RAM are more than enough for the average home; the only time it experiences strain is when simultaneously indexing lots of photographs and viewing a movie.

Pros
  • Everything works, is set up quickly, and is small and quiet.
Cons
  • cost, one network port
