Review on 💾 Diskless Synology DS218+ 2-bay NAS DiskStation by Doug Nelson

This is a powerful little device that does just about everything you could ever need. Not only does it deliver all my files over the network easily, but it does so quickly and with any protocol I can use. I've ever seen small and medium-sized companies? Check. iSCSI? Check. NSF? FTP? rsync? Yes. With the ability to run virtual machines (and Docker containers!), I was able to take over my performance-hungry 24/7 PC, as well as a remote VPS VM that I paid for. This ultimately pays off in the form of energy savings and the monthly cost of the VPS. The interface is great. Very easy to use and very clean. It offers many packages that you can install to provide various services on your network. Customer support, while perhaps not very quick, is also excellent. They were able to remotely solve the problem I found with Virtual Machine Manager. This model (DS918+) can also use 16GB of RAM, although it's not officially supported. I highly recommend upgrading your RAM if you plan to run virtual machines. I did a little research and found that most people recommend this kit: Crucial 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR3/DDR3L 1866 MT/s Kit (PC3-14900) 204-pin SODIMM Memory - CT2K8G3S186DM. I installed it with no problems and it works great. So far I am very happy with this purchase.
