Green DesignThe Synology DS118 is designed and developed to limit power consumption. Compared to equivalent average storage servers, the DS118 consumes only 17.2W in regular operation. Wake on LAN/WAN support and scheduled startup/shutdown further reduce power consumption and operating costs. HDD hibernation can be configured to take effect automatically when the system has been idle for a specified period of time. This not only saves power but also extends the life of the hard drives.

Hello
The product is compliant, deadline respected BUT the product is not easy to install to allow the connection with mobile phones and to be used as a source of reading on hi-fi system. The Synology support is poor, I am waiting for an answer to my questions on how to connect the Motorola with the nas, after 3 days...I contacted the LDLC support before validating the purchase, it is ok, corresponds well to my needs. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how to get it to work. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. So in the end, not super satisfied with the product. I did not keep the 4TB HDD that the seller advised me to buy, I did not open it, having tested it with a HDD that I already had, but with a smaller capacity, but sufficient for my use.
Sincerely Gaetan
It's my first NAS, I'm very happy with it! Easy to install, I use it to share my videos, backup and download. I didn't need to install any software and I had no trouble mounting a network drive under window 11. I have connected another external drive via USB and mounted another network drive on it without any problems. The transfer speed is really good especially in RJ45, in WIFI it's just as good but slower because of the ascending speed. I've been using it for a while now and it's a great way to access my data, no matter what device you're using, and it's easy to add downloads to the chain without any hassle :-)
I had taken this NAS for a simple external backup but I realize that it does more things than I thought. I can play my music on a bluetooth speaker without opening the computer thanks to the DS Audio app for android (attention requires android 8.0 at least), I can play my movies, we can install a wiki (mediawiki) and it does Itunes Server and WebDav protocol to exchange music and files with an Apple device (I'm under linux that's fine). It is perfectly recognized by my linux (Ubuntu distribution), Windows 10 but I had problems with SMB and Windows 8.1 (but I think it comes from the windows installation). In short, I recommend it
I've been using it for a while now, but it's a great tool for storing my movies and networking them.
The disadvantage is that the Synology rarely goes into standby mode when not in use, I have to turn it off myself each time, so that it doesn't run for nothing.
