Synology DiskStation DS718+ NAS Server for Business with Intel Celeron CPU, 6GB Memory, 4TB HDD Storage, DSM Operating System

I have limited experience with NAS installation, but with the help of the built - in applications and YouTube guidance, I was able to do a quick and painless installation. I am a small company that has several remote workstations. We use Dropbox for primary file storage and sharing. Synology has an application for the DiskStation that automatically syncs with Dropbox to backup all modified files. We now have a level of redundancy that I am very comfortable with. There are many more applications that can be used that I intend to explore.

Unit arrived quickly and was easy to set up. DSM browser-based management tool is a pleasure to use. Got up and running in minutes and was copying data from existing NAS unit. Haven't deployed it as a primary NAS yet but will be doing so in the next few days. I like everything about this unit; I will probably buy additional ones.

The product seems to operate reasonably well (still in the test stage), but the lack of documentation and the fact that the documentation that does exist is quite confusing are serious negatives!However, what really blew my mind was that a product costs around $1K, does NOT INCLUDE the screws required to attach the SSD disks to their frames! Really?! ... I have been doing this a long time, so I had some spare screws around, but I cannot imagine what others are doing. For that reason alone, I would not purchase this product again! It is not as if they are the only game in town!

For reference, this is my third Synology NAS. I'm a small business owner that needs a NAS that is reliable, provides remote functionality and easy to setup. These Synology appliances offer all that.I provided an overall rating of 4 stars based the lack of consistency with the product description. I received a Synology DiskStation DS720+ NAS. The machine came with two (2) 2.5" SSD SATA III P210 hard drives manufactured by Patriot. The machine also came with 8GB of DDR4-3200 SODIMM memory manufactured by Crucial (not 6GB manufactured by Synology). The package does not come with instructions so it took me a little time to realize I had to remove the drive doors on the front of the machine to see where to put the memory, then attach the drives to the NAS removable tracks. My past NAS appliances had memory already installed.The machine seems to run well/fast. It took me a little time for the Synology Migration Tool to transfer all my data/settings from the old to new NAS. I'm hopeful this NAS will be an even better workhorse compared with the 6+ year old DS 713+ machine that was replaced. Although what I received is not what was advertised, everything provided seems to be as good if not better than the stated specifications. I'm just glad that there are two (2) Ethernet ports on the back and a total of two (2) USB ports so I can attach my UPS communication cable on the back and external docking station for backup on the front.

Excelente producto, este es mi 4to NAS y lo recomiendo bastante para almacenamiento, lo utilizo para editar videos y va súper bien,
