    Blazing fast feature rich NAS
    Bottom line up front, this is an amazing powerful NAS and if you purchased it you would not be disappointed!I spent a few months looking for a replacement for my Drobo FS NAS. I thought about just buying a newer version of Drobo but I was never really happy with the read and write speed. One of the feature I really liked was the BeyondRaid technology they implemented that among other features allowed me to mix and match drive size, speed, and manufactures in the same disk array without losing capacity. However, the apps I could use was abysmal and again the speed was really slow. I could copy to the Drobo at 15MB/s and download from it at 20-30MB/s. Since I was using it as a media server and to back up large data files this was a problem. The only way I had to manage it was to limit access to the Drobo but it did what it was supposed to do.However after 10 years of service, it was finally time to upgrade. I work in IT so I wasn't afraid to analyze all the different file server / NAS options available to me including building my now FreeNAS server. After about a month of research and speaking with my colleagues I found that Synology NAS boxes were highly recommended. Also they had their own version of BeyondRaid called Synology Hybrid Raid which had a lot of the features I needed for single disk redundancy and the ability to use drives of different sizes. So I decided to give them a try, I chose the DS418 because of it's dual gigabit NICs and 4 bays is enough for my use.The set up process was amazingly simple. I literally backed up my files from my Drobo, pulled the drives from my Drobo and put them into the Synology and turned the power on. I accessed the Synology NAS via my web browser and completed the setup in about 5 minutes and I immediately had access to the storage pool. It took about about 48hrs to finish doing some parity checks but the storage was available the whole time. One of the big feature I was interested in was setting up a dynamic LAG (Link Aggregation Group).To keep it simple, setting up a LAG allows you to bond the two gigabit ports to effectively double the bandwidth of your NAS. You will need a managed switch in order to set up a LAG and if you have a managed switch you most likely have the skills you need to set up the LAG. Once I got the LAG set up, I started transferring files and I was blown away by the speeds. It was 5 to 7 times faster than my previous NAS. I was regularly recording transfer and download rates of 150+MB/s and average sustained transfer rates of 90MB/s.Also there is 50+ apps you can download and install with the click of a button really opening up what you can do with this NAS. This NAS can be used by professions of my mother which is deceiving because it hides all the advanced features available to an advanced user if you just dig a little deeper.Again, I highly recommend the Synology DS412 and really there whole product sweep. It is worth every penny.
