Highlights
Quality
All in all i really happy with the synology nas and have a lot more features to explore in the coming months
Quality is very good but it is quite expensive compared to other similar products
With the drobo i didnt care much about which disk i was adding what size or in which order
Good quality product installed 4x6tb ironwolfs along with 4gb of extra ram plus 2x256gb of ssd works a treat
Price
Only downside is the price however synology need to fund their software development so we keep getting updates and new features... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Nice product packaging device secure ok instructions online recommended
Upgrading from the old nas was a simple as pulling out the disks and inserting them into the ds918

It is a bit dear and the packaging could really be sturdier for the price
Competitiveness
This is a replacement for a smaller synology unit ive had for a number of years
Setup was easy transferring from an older synology nas was as simple as moving the disks over
Basically if you thought you needed a linux server you can probably do it out of the box with good tech support on a synology box
I had it configured with 2x 8tb hd so thats 8tb in mirror setup
