DiskStation DS418

High-Performance Storage

The Synology DiskStation DS418 is a 4-bay NAS with a 64-bit Realtek RTD1296 quad-core 1.4GHz processor and 2GB DDR4 RAM. It delivers read/write speeds up to 226MB/s and 170MB/s with Link Aggregation, supporting up to 72TB (4x18TB) in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD, or Synology Hybrid RAID. Btrfs file system enables snapshots for data protection.

Multimedia and Connectivity

Optimized for 10-bit 4K H.265 video transcoding via Video Station, it streams to devices without native 4K support. Dual 1GbE ports with failover and two USB 3.0 ports enhance connectivity. Synology DSM supports file sharing across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with Cloud Sync for Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Note: Plex transcoding is limited due to Realtek chipset.

Versatile Features

Synology Surveillance Station supports up to 30 IP cameras with motion detection and alerts. Hyper Backup offers multi-destination backups with deduplication. The DS418 consumes 26.49W in operation, with HDD hibernation for efficiency. Users praise its ease of use but note loud fans and slow RAID rebuilds. A 2-year warranty ensures reliability.
