Hello in this video I'm going to be doing an unboxing of a Synology DS718+, NAS
I have some other videos on
Synology I have an unboxing and setup of a Synology
DS918+ NAS
This is going to be a lot the similar to that. I'll put a link in the description to my playlist
also
If you if this video is helpful to you and you end up buying one of these. I'll put a link in the description to
This on Amazon using my affiliate link and if you buy it
It helps me out a little bit and I really appreciate that. It helps me a lot. So
so to get started this is the
Synology
718+ this is a two drive NAS
If you look at the diagram here it says in a status indicator land indicator copy button so
The 918+ does not have the copy button
USB 3.0 port power button fan that's on the front on the back. You have a
dual, LAN ports power port reset button a USB 3.0 port
Kensington security slot and
ESATA port and this will work with three-and-a-half inch and two and a half
inch drives
You can have USB 3.0 and eSATA
Two Gigabit LAN ports
It has two LAN cables power adapter
quad-core CPU 4k transcoding
Duel LAN and expandable storage and RAM, so let's get this open
Says there's a C2 back up free trial. That's a cloud back up
Let's pull this out first
And there's the NAS device here's the back ports
Power cord
LAN cable
Power adapter
Another LAN cable
Here's the key a quick installation guide and screws
That's everything in the box
So I'm gonna read through this real quick
Okay, so I'll pull one of these drive bays out here
Here we go, so
These are tool-less
If you're using a three and a half inch drive
If you're using a two and a half inch drive you attach it to these screw holes here
See if we can get inside here. You can see there's one
Slot for RAM and I have a
4 gigabyte module from my 918 I'll put in here, but I also have some 8 gigabyte modules
It says it supports 4 gig in here. We'll see if it also works with 8 gig oh and then here's the other
Module so I'll probably do another video and if this works with 16 gigabytes if we can get to that in there, that's
Looks like it's in there pretty good. So I don't know how accessible that will be
I think that's about it here
You can see the fan back there. So it's pretty small little board here
And I'll be I'm gonna be putting
These
Seagate 6 terabyte iron wolf drives. I'll put a link of these in the description also and these are a 7200 rpm hard drive
So we'll see how those go in
Pull these side pieces off here
and set the drive in place and I'm lining up the
holes in the drive on the side
Okay now I should be able to snap that in place
Like that and
Then that will slide in
And I can click it in and lock it in place
There we go, and the second drive will go in just like that
so
So this is the quick
You know kind of unboxing overview of the hardware aspect of it
I'm going to be doing more videos on this my plan for this is to turn this into a backup for my main
Synology 918+ NAS and
I'm also
my plan is to have this installed at a
Different house and I'll connect to it utilizing
Wireless system. So if you're interested in a that, you know, keep watching for new videos, you know, hit that subscribe button and
