Overview

Versatile NAS server for centralized file storage and real-time 4K H.265 video transcoding

Synology DS418 comes with a new 64-bit quad-core processor, delivering excellent data transfer speed, large storage volume management, and 10-bit 4K H.265 video transcoding on the fly.

Synchronize files across your devices

Cloud Station Suite provides real-time data synchronization across all your devices, such as computers, mobile devices, and other Synology NAS whenever a file is modified. "Intelliversioning" keeps the most important file versions to better utilize storage space.

Real-time collaboration on your private cloud

Office is a collaboration package combining the convenience and usability of public clouds with the data privacy and security guaranteed by private clouds. It allows you to work seamlessly together on documents and spreadsheets in a protected environment.

4K Multimedia Server

Access and stream your favorite 4K content anywhere, anytime. DS418 supports 10-bit 4K H.265 online transcoding via Video Station and DS video, allowing 4K videos to be converted and played on your computers, mobile devices, or other media players that don't support Ultra HD formats.

Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) technology

Storage management is easy with Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) technology. SHR is an automated RAID management system allowing you to easily create and expand storage volumes and migrate RAID types without requiring details on RAID. SHR provides 1 to 2-disk redundancy to safeguard your data during drive failures.

Easy file access with QuickConnect

Access files on your Synology NAS over the Internet without the hassle of setting up port forwarding rules, DDNS, or other complicated network settings. QuickConnect allows you to connect via a simple customizable address (e.g. https://customID.quickconnect.to), so that you can instantly access media and work files on any Windows/Mac/Linux computer, laptop, or mobile device without additional charge.

Great media server. All the software tools I needed came included - audio, video, photo streaming apps, remote access eg via Internet to backup photos from abroad. SHR2 raid to vote with 2 disk failures is impressive.

Good, but more limited than I expected from the Synology website. I was disappointed to find, for example, that Plex wasn't supported but I found the alpha/beta version, (which has since updated, so I guess full support is on the way). Processing power a little less than I'd expected so DSM not very speedy, but adequate for most tasks. Had I realised the limitations, I would have opted for the DS418play at an extra 50.

Exactly as described. Easy to set up and uses less power than the one it replaced. Delivery was prompt. Thoroughly recommended
