Using DS918+ with Toshiba HDD. That’s a very good price you get your DS918+ for.

Do not worry if Toshiba HDD is not in the compatibility list.

I am using 4x 2TB Toshiba HDD in my DS418.
Model: DT01ACA200
Bought from Tradepac too.

If you intend to put electronics in a hidden cabinet, consider cutting air-holes to allow air to circulate. This is best done when you're doing your reno.

I built a cabinet over the DB box/circuit breaker area and asked my contractor to cut a gap in the side. Right now I have a UPS inside together with my fibre ONT and switches. I have a USB fan in there as well, powered by the USB port on the ONT. My NAS is not in there, though. Maybe if I change to a bigger model next time I can put it inside.

I am using Toshiba drives. Two of each model; MD04ACA500 and HDWE160 in a 412+.


They are noticeably more audible as compared to WD Reds. Not that I am recommending the reds. You can hear the whine of the platters spinning and during seek, its krok krok krok krok all the way. lol.

any1 using DS414? not sure is their sata port or the product is crap.
always give issue on port 2.
The drive volume always degrade , even after changing to brand new hard drive.


i had to workaround by recreate the drive using port 1,3,4 into 1 volume and drive 2 into a isolated volume.even that. the port 2 drive sometimes get disconnected.

Sharing what I did to recover my slot 2 and 3 (Unable to detect disk issue).
Do note that mine is out of warranty, so it is at your own risk.

I dismantled the chassis until i can reach the sata daughter board. (Below are some references, ifixit is good enough)
Then i just basically cleaned the gold contacts and reseat the board.

Surprisingly after that, it was able to detect my disks and RAID array.

I guess the sata gold edge no longer able to grip tight on the HDD/SSD sata gold edge. This could result from aging or frequent plug/unplug action.
