Synology DiskStation DS218J + 2x Western Digital RED 2TB drives - White

About this deal

The Synology DS218J is a 2-bay NAS aimed squarely at home and personal users who want to build their own private cloud storage. It runs on a dual-core Marvell Armada 385 processor with 512 MB of RAM, and features a single Gigabit Ethernet port alongside two USB 3.0 ports. The unit delivers sequential throughput of over 113 MB/s read and 112 MB/s write under RAID 1, and includes a hardware encryption engine for securing data at rest. RAID support covers Synology Hybrid RAID, RAID 0, and RAID 1, with drives of up to 12 TB each supported. The NAS runs Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), a web-based operating system with an intuitive, desktop-like interface. It handles data sharing, multimedia streaming, and cloud synchronisation with ease. The two included Western Digital RED hard drives are purpose-built for NAS use: WD's NASware technology fine-tunes drive parameters to match NAS workloads, helping improve performance and reliability. They are designed for systems that operate around the clock, making them a solid match for an always-on home NAS. This bundle is offered in used condition and provides a ready-to-use 4 TB home network storage solution.
