Loving our DS1618+, we upgraded from a DS1512+, so we are familiar with and really like the Synology interface. I feel it makes owning a NAS easy enough for the layperson, but has several options for tinkerers to play with. On our old DS1512, we had a large pool share of videos, Plex, and OpenVPN setup. When our DS1618 arrived, I shut down the old one, moved over all the disks, booted up the new one and told it to migrate. I was back up and running with everything setup within 20 minutes! Incredible :) Since we went from a 5-bay to a 6-bay, I considered upping our storage space, but instead put my spare on in the 6th slot and made it a hot-spare for now. I spent that money on a 16GB RAM upgrade, and let me tell you this beast has run great from the start!

The station was a hassle to get up and running. This is my first experience with NAS and the instructions were incomplete. After several days of unsuccessful attempts, including watching numerous YouTube videos and searching multiple websites, I found an article about enabling Net Bios. That did the trick and it is working flawlessly. There was no information about Net Bios in Synology's instructions. Now, all is well, and I am moving toward my goal.
