Review on πŸ’Ύ Diskless Synology DS118 NAS DiskStation with 1 Bay by Janis Cerins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Those that need to deploy an archive that can be accessed from anywhere in the world should definitely consider purchasing it. It's not hard at all to accomplish this goal. I use an internal WD RED 6 TB drive. When copying a large number of data, a very modest cooler (it is much smaller than in versions that support two disks) ensured that the hard drive did not exceed 32 degrees Celsius in temperature. In the not too distant future, I might consider installing a couple of IP cameras on it. I "solved" the "problem" of not having RAID by making periodic copies of the most critical papers onto an ownerless external 1 terabyte USB 3.0 drive. This allowed me to circumvent the "problem" of not having RAID.

Pros
  • dependable applications with consistent updates. Super quick machine. Since moving away from a single-core ds216se, everything runs much more quickly. It used to rest on the controller, and the highest speed possible was 66 MB per second; however, the web interface is not stupid, and there is no ceiling on the gigabit network. Video recording with 4K and 60 frames per second with no issues caused by GoPro twists. The use of Plex.
Cons
  • Haven't revealed yet.
