Synology's latest 4-bay addition to the Plus series of NAS devices aimed at high performance and data-intensive workloads is the DS918+, a refresh of the DS916+ which launched in 2016 and which we reviewed HERE. Powered by an Intel Celeron J3455 processor...

Synology refreshes most of their lineup on a yearly basis. This year we started off on a high note with the All-Flash FS3017 tested with 10Gbe which we subsequently used for the DS1517+ in June and DS1817 in August. In November, we looked at the RS217 Rac...
