It's a nice NAS

Reviewed in Australia on 24 August 2018

Size: 1-bay; 1GB DDR4Style: DS118Verified Purchase

Very easy set up, obviously BYO HDD but it's really not complicated to set up.

Synology software makes it simple to setup syncing etc once you get used to the interface.

Not compatible with Plex, need the DS218+ to run the app. But streams just fine without it

Previously owned a synology drive, but it was starting to become old. Straight swap of hard drives maintained file system and was able to get the new server up and running with no real downtime. Works well as home media server.

Not what I expected

Reviewed in Australia on 29 September 2018

Size: 1-bay; 1GB DDR4Style: DS118Verified Purchase

This unit is not what was advertised and not what was delivered. The unit was advertised with 12TB storage but it does not come with any storage and when challenged I was told sorry our advertising is wrong. The unit WILL NOT show or thumbnail all photographic files. (will not display Phase One files) The photo app will not display all size formats. The hardware works OK and as expected but not a fast unit

Secretly does stuff you didn't ask for or want

It doesn't leave your files alone! Creates indexes, thumbnails, god knows what else. Sits there permanently reading writing disk even when you're not using it.

It hides most of this from you, so you cannot see these applications or disable/remove them from the web interface, so you have to use SSH. Nuts! Anyway do this (don't disable things you can't work out):

Login: ssh admin@[IP address of NAS]
Get a list of enabled services: sudo synoservice --status | grep enable
Turn off: sudo synoservice --disable [Name of service]
Reboot: sudo reboot

Reliable set-up procedures, solid performance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2019

Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4Style: DS418Verified Purchase

Synology have apparently slightly redesigned some of their enclosures (relative to about 5-6 years ago). There is no front door and the drive trays are exposed but can now be locked. The drawer design has also been changed and is tool-free if 3.5 inch drive units are selected; 2.5 inch drives use the supplied screws.

You will need to download the unit's manual as only a Quick Start Guide is enclosed and optionally the latest version of its Desktop Management Software (it is model specific) although the device can find it automatically once connected to the Ethernet. There are some initial procedures during which the drives are formatted to suit the system and the 'ideal' RAID format for the number of drives installed - there is no choice although apparently RAID 5 was used to best utilise 4 identical drive units! It will take a while, especially as there is a built-in 10 minute delay for the machine to reboot post-format. Some essential apps will be automatically installed but there are loads more that can be installed should you need them; some will be more useful to some users than others.

Although the unit is expensive relative to some with a similar feature set, it remains all plastic (casing and drawers) when some at least have a metal casing. It is well-cooled with two 80mm rearward fans and silent, unless an ear is pinned to the side of the casing. UK and Euro mains leads are provided as are twin Ethernet cables. It supports two USB 3.0 expansion ports (for a printer or other devices) at the rear plus another at the front.

If needed as a full-blown media server that is able to transcribe 4K video on-the-fly, this is not the model for you - the DS418Play is the minimum standard as it has a faster and media-enabled Intel Celeron CPU.

Transferring selected media files was performed at a steady 110-115 MB/s, about a third faster than another brand's equivalent purchased just days previously but later returned after a slew of functional and operational issues. It should prove as reliable as another Synology NAS unit that has run almost endlessly (a few power cuts over time were the sole exceptions) for several years.

der Ernsthafte

Die Einrichtung als Datensafe geht flott, will man das NAS wirklich ausnutzen, wird es aufwendig.

Reviewed in Germany on 12 March 2020

Size: 1-bay; 1GB DDR4Style: DS118Verified Purchase

Hallo, ich habe mir nun das 6. NAS in den letzten 15 Jahren zugelegt und muss sagen, es ändert sich seit einigen Jahren nicht wirklich so sehr viel. Alle Geräte waren von unterschiedlichen Herstellern, taten aber ihren Zweck , wenn es um einfache Datei-Kopierarbeiten bzw. Datensicherungen ging. Die Geräte schon aus dem Baujahr 2010-2012 konnten schon im wesentlich fast alles. Sie boten Kameraunterstützung, USB-Kopieroptionen, Useranlage, Berechtigungszuordnung, Sharenutzung, Printserver, Time-Machine, Mediaserver usw. usf.. Sogar etliche Zusatz-Paket-Downloads waren zu dieser Zeit schon möglich.
Lediglich die geringe Kapazität der unterstützten Platten sowie die unzureichenden Netzwerkgeschwindigkeiten machten mal wieder einen Austausch notwendig. Z.B. unterstützen mein letzten NAS-Systeme nur Festplatten bis 3TB und die Netzwerkgeschwindigkeit war auf 40 MB/s begrenzt. Für heutige Datenmengen leider schon zu „antiquiert“. Daher dachte ich vor einigen Tagen, ein Gerät des Typ's DS118 vom Marktführer wäre eine deutliche Verbesserung, da es in etlichen Test oft als „Bestes“ abgeschnitten hatte.

Ich nutze immer nur 1-Bay-Nas-Laufwerke, aber immer mind. zwei gleichzeitig an verschiedenen Orten. Das ist mir sicherer als ein 2-Bay-Nas-Laufwerk, welches zwar Raid 1 (spiegeln) kann aber wenn durch irgend was ein Schaden am Gerät entsteht, ist womöglich auch alles weg. Gleichzeitig ein Schaden an 2 verschiedenen Orten ist da sehr unwahrscheinlich.

DS-118:
Bei der Installation fand ich das DS-118-NAS nicht über den Befehl „…find.synology…“, sondern hier half nur der Routereintrag mit entsprechender IP weiter. Danach konnte ich eine recht kurze NAS-Installation/Einrichtung (10 Minuten) starten.
Die danach erscheinende DS-Oberfläche ist erst mal einfach gehalten und man kann, wie üblich, über einen Paketmanager (Paketzentrum) etliche Anwendungen nachladen. Sogar ein Virenscanner und der Teamviewer ist verfügbar.

Grundsätzlich gestaltet sich auch die Verzeichnisanlage sowie dessen Freigabeberechtigung der „gemeinsamen Ordner“ recht einfach. Ich habe auch den FTP-Server aktiviert und meine beiden Web-Kameras senden ihre Bilder direkt zum DS-118 in die nun entsprechend angelegten und freigegebenen Ordner.

Leider ist die Berechtigungsstrategie für manche Anwendung verwirrend, weil uneinheitlich. Einmal ändert man diese in der „Systemsteuerung“ für die vorab installierten Anwendungen. Für etliche, teilweise nachträglich runtergeladene Anwendung (z.B. Photostation, Videostation oder Moments ) sieht das anders aus. Bei diesen „zusätzlichen“ Anwendungen kann man Userberechtigungen einerseits nur in der Anwendung selbst oder andererseits in der Anwendung und der Systemsteuerung konfigurieren… Das habe ich über entsprechende Foren herausgefunden. Unschön wenn man nämlich andere User auf sein NAS zugreifen lässt und diese unerwartet verschiedene Anwendungen sichtbar haben, für die sie gar keinen Zugriff oder evtl. gleich Vollzugriff haben…

Gescheitert bin ich beim Zertifikat für den remote- https-Zugang (Port Forward) zu meinem DS-118. Hier erhalte ich momentan nur Zertifikatfehler im Browser und so mancher restriktiv gehaltener Internetzugang verweigert jeglichen Kontakt mit meinem NAS. Vorerst hilft hier nur das unsichere http-Protokoll weiter.

Bei den Energieeinstellungen habe ich die Festplatte auf Ruhezustand (15 Min) eingestellt. Aber sie geht nie in den Ruhezustand. Auch hier gibt es wieder eine Liste bei Synology , die alle Dienste auflistet, die so einen Ruhezustand verhindern können. Eigentlich könnte doch bei Aktivierung des Ruhezustandes gleich eine Problem-Hinweis-Meldung über Konflikte mit Dienstprogrammen kommen. Aber leider nein….hier muss ich auch noch mal nachforschen welcher Dienst den Ruhezustand nun verhindert.

Erstes Fazit:
In der Platten-Kapazität habe ich mit dem DS-118 , laut Kompatibilitätsliste, bis zu 10 TB nach oben offen, das sollte erst mal reichen. Die LAN-Geschwindigkeit läuft immerhin bis max. ca. 118MB/s.
Dennoch muss ich hier anmerken, das DS-118 ist nicht wirklich so extrem schnell wie ich dachte!
Die Bedienung der Oberfläche ist flott, wirkt aber bei belasteter CPU schnell zäh. Die permanente LAN-Geschwindigkeit schwankte vor allem die ersten 1-2 Tage extrem stark und pendelt oft zwischen 3Mbyte/s - 30Mbyte/s. Dieser Zustand muss mit der anfänglichen Indizierung zusammenhängen, die lange dauert.
Erst danach waren dauerhafte Übertragungsraten größerer Dateien zwischen 46Mbyte/s – 95 Mbyte/s messbar. Bei reinen Kopierjobs von größeren Dateien (vom Windows-PC zum NAS) werden auch mal bis zu 118MByte/s (Spitzenwert) erreicht.

Es gilt zudem, sich wirklich mit dem NAS zu beschäftigen und sich durchzuarbeiten bis das NAS etliche Funktionen reibungslos erfüllt. Plug and Play kann man vergessen. Als einfaches „Datengrab“ ist es zwar flott eingerichtet aber dafür würde auch eine USB-3.0 Festplatte gut herhalten!
Richtet man das DS-118 als umfangreichen NAS-Server für Datensicherung, Kamerastreaming und auch für Videowiedergabe (Anwendung „Videostation“) ein, dann wird die Einrichtung wesentlich komplexer. Für Laien wird es da schnell schwierig.

Zweites Fazit:
Nach mehreren Tagen intensiver Arbeit am DS-118 bessert sich die allg. Lage und ich bin nun recht zufrieden. Die Datensicherung läuft reibungslos, die Videowiedergabe über Internet (Video-Station) klappt meist gut und die Web-Cam Bilder/Videos landen zuverlässig auf den vorgesehenen Freigaben des NAS. Einige Sachen wie HDD-Ruhezustand oder https-Zugang habe ich immer noch nicht korrekt am Laufen. Aber auch das wird noch klappen. Knappe 4 Sterne in Anbetracht des Preises inkl. Platte von knapp unter dreihundert Euronen.

My First Synology NAS (My First NAS)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2018

Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4Style: DS418Verified Purchase

Had this for around 1 month now! A really solid piece of kit! I've installed two 2TB WD Red drives which have had around 1 month of up-time now with no issues. The interface takes a while to get used to but is very simple. I've had a couple of issues with connecting via the QuickID in external locations, only for it to work a few minutes later. Having some 'computing/networking' knowledge will certainly benefit you with using the majority of features. I think I would have struggled without this background.

I bought this to run act as a server for the main data repository in my network, to allow remote and cloud based working/syncing. So far so good! It's quiet and 'sleeps' when not in use, saving power and noise! I will be considering upgrading the RAM soon to give a little more performance, but it's not necessary at the moment. Would highly recommend.

Great value systems and reliable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2020

Size: 4-bay; 2GB DDR4Style: DS418Verified Purchase

Great value systems and reliable - I have plenty of experience with Synology through work and the general feeling is once installed it's more of a set and forget and they run for years on end. The four bay system tends to come into its own when specifying very large storage quantities as it can actually be as good as or better value to spec four smaller drives than two larger ones. With the four bays you also get access to more RAID types 5, 6 and 10 over the basic mirror or no redundancy options.

The only useful thing that I could really add is be aware of noise levels. I made the mistake of pairing one of these with four Toshiba MG series drives and the result was so much noise in my home that no matter where I put it I could still hear it on occasion while trying to sleep. In this case I accept the MG drives are particularly noisy but even with four very quiet drives noise will be a factor with four of them, so be aware of this if you are planning to install one of these where noise is a concern.
