“Synology’s DS1618+ is powerful enough for most
But there are plenty of upgrade-options when it isn’t. A perfect NAS for SMBs who want the best storage server for their files.”
Great upgrade potential, Affordable, Powerful hardware
10GbE performance is a little wobbly
Its new Atom CPU and big DDR4 memory capacity makes the Synology RackStation DS1618+ a great choice for handling a wide range of network storage duties with room on top for plenty of apps. 10GbE performance is a little uneven but is good enough for the...
High-performance hardware, PCIe slot upgrades, Virtual machine support
Upgrades cost extra, Stiff competition from similar models, Slightly noisy
It's hard not to love the DS1618+, with its mix powerful hardware and flexible upgrade options. As high-end NAS devices go, it's also fairly competitively priced. Of course, it faces some stiff competition from other Synology NAS models, as well as compet...

None what so ever, “Synology’s DS1618+ is powerful enough for most, but there are plenty of upgrade-options when it isn’t. A perfect NAS for SMBs who want the best storage server for their files.”, Thank You, Synology, for this review sample,
What a NAS! Synology DiskStation DS1618+ is a NAS of my taste. It has all the right things to be the best at what it does: Store and serve your files. And while it doesn't stop there, it doesn't go beyond what it needs to do.A Solid Base with Expansion Op...
