Synology DS918+ : Part 1- Unboxing & Initial Setup

There is a data explosion underway. Every day, we produce tons and tons of content – be it documents, images, videos and so on. However, storing all of that data safely is a major concern.

While many of us have moved more and more of our lives into the mysterious realm of “the cloud”, local storage is something that is still perceived to be safe and secure. 

If you are worried about keeping your data safe and not handing over your data to a third party, we have a solution for you. It is called a NAS drive.

A Network Attached Storage (NAS) straddles the line between a local hard drive and cloud storage and gives you the benefits of both. A NAS is an intelligent storage device connected to your home or office network. 

In this video, we unbox the Synology DS918+ and show you how to setup the device on your network.

*Please note that each drive bay of the Synology DS918+ supports hard disks with capacities of up to 14TB of storage space.

This is how an unboxing should be done. Neat and tidy and to the point.

Synology has a very good ecosystem of apps and softwares. Good to see an all in one solution.

I have been a Synology user for years now. Never had an issue with the products. EVER.

Would love to see the DSM in action. Do you plan to do a video on that?

Would I need an adapter for 2.5-inch drives or can I directly screw them onto the drivebay plate?
