ds218play

Does the ds218play support Surveillance Station? I already found a compatible camera. Thanks in advance

I want to upgrade the HDD in my ds218play. My question is multipart, so please bear with me. The NAS has 2 HDD bays. One of them has a 4TB Seagate Ironwolf HDD. The other bay is vacant. RAID is not configured. I want to install 2 8TB Ironwolf Pro HDDs: one in each bay and use RAID 1 (the NAS...

Hey everyone - hope you've been keeping safe and well :) I recently experienced a System Partition Failure due to a dislodged drive - therefore reverting the volume to Read only status. I had a single volume configuration, with a JBOD Raid Type. So after spending a good week and a half copying...

Hey all, Hope you've been keeping safe and well! I'm slowly getting through my to-do list, and one of them is trying to address a very slow web interface/very slow loading times for apps & accessing files. Sometimes the loading times are slower than my previous Synology (DS212j) so I'm a bit...

Hi all: I recently got a Synology DS218play NAS and 2 x10TB WD Gold drives. BIG MISTAKE! Everything works fine, of course, but the WD Gold drives are NOISY! Constant thumping/knocking noise amplified to unacceptable levels by the cabinet location of the NAS. I have 2 WD Red drives (older...

Officially confirmed bug for DS420j, DS220j, DS418j, DS218play, and DS118 only. DO NOT UPDATE to DSM 6.2.4: https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/142519

My DS218play periodically enters a state where it can't be reached over the network. File share, web browser control panel, the Synology tool, ping from the command line, nothing reaches it. The status lights seem normal. Status, Disk1 and Disk2 are solid green, LAN flickers green, power is...
