Synology DS718+ 2-Bay NAS Review | TechPowerUp

techpowerup.com

The Synology DS718+ is a robust NAS that excels in 4K video transcoding and offers expandable storage options, making it a top contender for multimedia enthusiasts. Its quad-core CPU and support for advanced filesystems like Btrfs enhance its appeal with strong data protection features. However, the steep price point of $400, coupled with the additional cost of the DX517 expansion unit, may deter budget-conscious users. Overall, while it shines in performance and features, it’s a significant investment that may not suit every user's wallet.
