The Synology DS918+ is a small 4 bay NAS that can hold up to 64TB of raw storage by itself, or up to a crazy 144TB of storage with an expansion unit.

Worth noting the 18 in DS918+ refers to the year it was released. It's soon to be replaced with the DS920+. So if you hang on a few weeks you'll get a much better version of this for the same money. In fact Synology's whole range is getting a refresh this year

DS918 was the best purchase I ever made.

This is some serious MKBHD - quality content right here. Found you through your Surface Headphones 2 comparison video and subbed after that, but your channel just keeps on giving. Keep it up!

Great video, love learning about new tech!

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Love your new content 🔝

YES please a clear and precise video on how to set up plex from start to finish on Synology. The file system is really complicated and difficult to understand.

This is the 1st video of yours I have watched. Very nice. I would like to know more about that desk behind you.

I have sully question, Can you install games on NAS storage then run them normally like Local Drive ?

[frantotti]

is it worth buying used in 2022 for cheap or outdated?

[TechWithAdil]

Compared to DS1019+ which one would you pick?

[SilentAce]

I've been thinking of getting a NAS for a little while now. I would like to see how you set it up with Plex before I commit.

Dude, is this video is sponsored by Synology? To clear old inventory? It's little late to make videos on DS 918+. It has DDR3 RAM, too old processor etc.
Google for launch date of this processor.
DS920+ is coming this month, with DDR4 RAM newer and faster processor may be with new DSM OS ( I guess 7).
