Review: Fantastic DS, very fast and functional! - Fantastic latest development of Synology! The DS is very fast, not complaints at all, the internal speed exceeds all expectations, the LAN connection is more than great. The functionality is usual since all these stations are sharing the same software, but this is one has a very good CPU and uses it full value. It took just a few days to run through my entire few TB size 25+ or so years photo/video collection, create thumbnails, reorganize it by dates, recognize the objects, events, locations and faces, create custom groups for every person, using AI - very useful! It's also a very convenient way to share files, create family targeted servers, including video, audio, photo, chat and a lot more. If you add to all that a huge RAID storage, then it makes it priceless.
Review: Choices upon choices. - Users of Synology don't need convincing, and those who haven't decided yet will probably be convinced soon by a bad experience when they wonder what happened to their photo archive. Synology operates reliably and, in my opinion, has the best customer service. Many complain about the price, it's true, it's not low, but in return, we get a top-notch product. Previously, I used two DS1621xs+ models which pleased me and continue to help me to this day. The DS1823xs+ has become the successor to those two previous models, which are used every day, performing backups and snapshots. Without hesitation, I recommend it to anyone who wants to sleep peacefully and not worry about their data!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does it say diskless if it doesn't come with the drives**
A: Because it has no disks in it. No disks = disk less.

**Q: Does this come with a 10g Ethernet port? Or do you have to buy one separately and install it yourself?**
A: There is a single 10G interface onboard.  If you want additional, you will need to purchase an adapter.

**Q: I saw in one review it works with Non-Synology hard drives with just a single warning in the very beginning, is it so?**
A: There are workarounds found by searching the web.

**Q: does it come with the drives?**
A: Ot the one that I bought, but you can buy it with the drives included (for more money).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing NAS for home use
*by B***G on June 3, 2024*

I'm coming from a hand-me-down QNAP NAS. I was originally going to update to another QNAP device because of familiarity. I decided to go big with Synology instead based on some positive reviews from others that I know. This NAS is probably overkill for home use, but my reasoning in buying this particular device was that it will provide for my needs for many years. Since my purchase, I've upgraded to 32GB of RAM. I plan to install the NVMe drives eventually, but it still runs great even without them. Lots of the reviews out there mention the warnings about non-synology drives being installed. Don't let that be a reason not to buy this. There is a config file that you can edit that eliminates the warning for "unapproved" drives. I'm running 4 10TB WD drives, and 4 8TB WD drives, and they work great.
