I bought UPS replacement batteries from SLT. I think is Panasonic brand and they cost <$50 each. Quite affordable.

Edit. I got the 12V 9Ah variant. The 7.2Ah models are cheaper but not Panasonic brand.

Why all look at Synology and did not consider other brands too?
Cos i read online that synology interface and software is more noob friendly compared to other brands.

Maybe when I'm more experience in nas, then I'll consider other brands.

I think the promo attracted many buyers to cause ran out of stock. You should ask them when the stock comes in ..

them = storage studio

I have a 1817+ which uses an old 412+ as backup.

Looking to retire the 412+ and given the closeness in pricing, wondering if a 918+ or expansion DX517 would be a better choice?

DX517 you only have 1 brain to work with.
Ds918+ you have 2 brains to work with.

Imo, is all about you and how comfortable are you.

517 gives you one extra bay. But it's tethered to the 1817+.

An 918+ is a standalone unit which offers hardware redundancy.

I wonder if anyone has ds918+ and try the transcoding on a LG TV with Video Station could see embedded subs but not hardcoded (so can turn on/off) with 4K?

Looking for a 4 bay NAS for files storage and below 2 deals found in Lazada:

DS918+ $679
DS418play $634.50

Considering the original difference in price should be $100, I would have gone for DS418play.

However with the price difference above, I cannot decide which to go for.

For my usage both are more than capable enough, if it is your choice ehich would you pick?
