Review Summary

Expensive as just used as a drive enclosure/backup, but has a network connection. Reliable products from a manufacturer that has managed to stay solid. I can plug this into an EERO anywhere in the house as a backup destination.

After reading many reviews and comparing multiple specs on single bay NASs, I decided on this unit over others like the QNAP 128 one. synology’s software and hardware specs moved me to this purchase the software more so in this case. Anyone considering a personal NAS or a starter NAS should definitely consider this ... if RAID/redundancy is not something that you are looking for in a personal use setup then I highly recommend the DS118. It’s a nice starter NAS for someone considering getting one to try.
