Synology DiskStation DS918+ is a NAS with 4 slots and was developed especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and IT-interested persons. DS918+ is equipped with a new quad-core processor and delivers outstanding performance and accelerated data encryption as well as real-time transcoding of 4K Ultra HD content.

Fast and scalable storage server
Synology DS918+ is a NAS solution with 4 slots and is equipped with a Quad-Core processor and 4 GB DDR3L RAM (expandable up to 8 GB). With Link Aggregation enabled, DDS918+ delivers outstanding sequential throughput of more than 226 MB/s (read) and 222 MB/s (write) . With hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption, DS918+ delivers 225 MB/s (read) and 221 MB/s (write) encrypted data throughput. DS918+ now supports M.2 NVMe 2280 SSDs, which can be used to set up a fast system cache without occupying internal hard disk slots.
In conjunction with a Synology DX517 expansion unit, DS918+ supports up to 9 drives. This means that the storage capacity can be expanded as required with minimal effort.

Btrfs: Next-generation storage efficiency
DS918+ is characterized by the Btrfs file system and thus provides the latest storage technologies for the management tasks of modern enterprises:

• The integrated data integrity check detects data and file system errors using data and metadata checksums and improves overall stability.


• Flexible folder sharing/user quota system provides comprehensive quota control for all user accounts and shared folders.


• Advanced snapshot technology with customizable backup schedule enables up to 1,024 copies of shared folder backups at an interval of at least 5 minutes without consuming massive storage capacity and system resources.


• File-level or folder-level data recovery is extremely convenient and saves time when restoring only a specific file or folder.


• File self-healing: The Btrfs file system can automatically detect corrupted files using mirrored metadata and recover failed data using supported RAID volumes, including RAID1, 5, 6, and 10.

Comprehensive enterprise applications
DS918+ offers a full range of applications and functions, specially designed for small and growing businesses, via the innovative Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM):

• Windows® AD and LDAP support enables easy integration with existing operational directory services without creating new user accounts


• Windows ACL support provides fine-grained access control and efficient permission settings to seamlessly integrate the DS918+ with any existing infrastructure.


• The Internet file access is simplified by the encrypted FTP server and the web-based file browser Synology File Station. HTTPS, the firewall and the automatic blocking of IPs guarantee that the exchange of files over the Internet is protected with a high security level.


• Application permissions control access to applications and packets based on individual accounts, user groups, or IP addresses.


• MailPlus provides your company with a secure, reliable and private e-mail server and your employees with a modern e-mail client for receiving and sending messages.

Comments

Equipped with recertified hard drives:
Along with the stringent testing guidelines required to obtain the recertification label, these drives are among the lowest return rate on the market.
Since recertified hard drives are available for a few hours, many companies choose to take advantage of these significant cost savings and add recertified drives to their products.
