    its a nice unit usually selling @ 900AUD. Cant afford so far, but will get one eventually.

    • Manojkbanga on 26/12/2017 - 16:56

      Not sure were you've seen it at $900. Can easily be found for under $800 mark.

    I still have my Gen 8 running strong. But am looking to get a spare for my office.

  • starburstyellow on 26/12/2017 - 17:33

    Got the DS412+ few years back, still going strong.

  • 3 on 26/12/2017 - 17:57

    Does this have the buggy Atom C2000 series CPU?

    Edit: looks like it's a Celeron J3455 so shouldn't be affected?

  • Elijha on 26/12/2017 - 18:01

    My DS11+ is still going well but I'm keen on upgrading for a faster CPU and HD video transcoding for Plex… not sure if this model supports this use case as last time I looked they didn't have CPUs with GPU support.

      from product page " capable of transcoding up to two channels of H.265/H.264 4K videos at the same time, DS918+ is ideal for sharing and storing ultra-high definition media content"

      I'm writing this comment while watching a bluray remux streamed from ds918+ to nvidia shield perfectly. Audio passing through dts master to receiver also.

      To answer your question though, also transcodes fine.

  • colinsi on 26/12/2017 - 19:11

    Whats the power consumption of this system?

    Purchased. 🙏

  • ninjataki on 26/12/2017 - 21:33

    Do you guys think the DS115J is a good entry point for a NAS noob like me, never had one before but am interested to explore the benefits eg my own secure cloud etc (been reading the blurb on the Computer Alliance page about it all). Any help greatly appreciated.

    • Manojkbanga on 26/12/2017 - 21:49

      DS115J is a 1 bay drive. for me that is not any kind of security. if you can get at least 2 bay nas and set raid 1. you may find some cheap once on gumtree as people are upgrading for 4k use to the expansive once. hope this make sence

      • ninjataki on 26/12/2017 - 22:37

        Yep it makes sense, been watching a lot of tuts and reviews since posting. I guess originally for me it was more about exploring the software itself and what was capable. But yeah makes more sense now overall.

          Well the Synology 2-Bay costs around $295, while the 1-bay costs around $124 delivered. The 1-bay is still better than nothing…

          -10% except on the postage…

        • Manojkbanga on 27/12/2017 - 11:10

          @AngryChicken: 1bay = 1 drive. If that one fail everything is gone.
          2bay=2 drive in raid 1. If one fail you still got your data on one. That's the one main reason people go for nas. Otherwise you can get 8TB external drive for around 200 from amazon USA

        • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2017 - 11:13

          @Manojkbanga: Yeah i understand all that. BTW never used a NAS - been just using an external drive as you say, but that only happens when i kick it. I'm assuming these Synology NAS's are set up to continually backup. How do i get a constant active backup with an external drive? I'm sure there's a way…

        • Manojkbanga on 27/12/2017 - 11:22

          @AngryChicken: you can use wd easy drive. Ive bought couple from usa 8tb once. Cost you around $300 each delivered.
          They have wd red inside so when you buy nas take the disk out and to the nas. They have wd backup utility you can use for automated backups.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2017 - 11:34

          @Manojkbanga: Do you mean something like this, or are you talking about some standalone software?

        • Manojkbanga on 27/12/2017 - 12:42
          +1

          @AngryChicken: yes. They have wd's own software for scheduled backup and other handy tools. Just so you know. Not every one of them has red drive.

      • nobarginsarehere on 27/12/2017 - 14:13

        If you are going to invest in a NAS, get atleast a 4 bay if not 8

    • uccoffee on 27/12/2017 - 12:17

      the only problem is the USB2 ports, it takes ages for you to backup your NAS to external drives.
      depends how you use it, still OK with 8 or 12TB drive :D

      • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2017 - 12:30

        Oh yeah, USB2 is crap.

      • nobarginsarehere on 27/12/2017 - 14:12

        Doesnt backing up to External Drives defeat the purpose of a NAS hahaha

        • uccoffee on 27/12/2017 - 14:51
          +2

          absolutely not, RAID is NOT backup, it is just for no down time, not a real BACKUP solution.
          eg: if all your data infected by some hasty stuff, RAID wont recover that, both drives = infected.

          For home use, i rather use max space - eg: 16TB ~ 24TB for 2Bay , and get a few external drives to backup important stuff~

        • nobarginsarehere on 27/12/2017 - 15:15
          -2

          @uccoffee: What are you on about

    FYI you can save $1.50 more (lol) by buying from https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Synology-DiskStation-DS918-4-Bay… as the product cost with shipping is same but shipping is included on this and 10% on that makes it more.. So total will be $714.60

    And combine this with https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/351935 for an awesome NAS + Storage deal

  • nobarginsarehere on 27/12/2017 - 14:11

    I bought a Synology DS1812+ 8-Bay 5 years ago now, hasn't had a problem

    Cost me $985 back then, worth spending the little bit extra for more bays imho

    • uccoffee on 27/12/2017 - 14:52

      8bay must be noisy~ :D

      • nobarginsarehere on 27/12/2017 - 14:58

        Nope, near silent

        edit: just measured it, ~50db room noise, next to the Synology ~60db

        thermal status in DSM says 41c

        • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2017 - 17:29

          You carry a noise level test device around with you? Nice.

          Now i want one. What do you use? I see some cheap $20-$30 on eBay, such as this, this, and this.

  • JelIyfish on 28/12/2017 - 08:25

    I need to upgrade a 216J but not for another 12 months. What are the chances of a better model coming out by then, or the 918+ being cheaper in the future?

  • aibargain on 28/12/2017 - 19:35

    Arrived. Super fast shipped. Thanks Manojkbanga…
