Synology WDĀ Overview
ThisĀ B&H KitĀ combines theĀ Synology DiskStation DS118 1-Bay NAS EnclosureĀ with one WD 10TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5″ hard drive for a total storage capacity of 10TB.
Designed for small offices and home users, theĀ DiskStation DS118 1-Bay NAS EnclosureĀ fromĀ SynologyĀ allows users to share and synchronize files across multiple devices and public cloud storage services from virtually anywhere, while also helping to boost work productivity, enhance team collaboration, and transcode 10-bit 4K H.265 video on the fly. It is equipped with one drive bay that is capable of natively supporting 3.5″ SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5″ SATA hard drives and SSDs with a drive bay adapter. Using its single drive bay, this NAS will allow you to store and share a large number of files, including videos, music, photos, and documents with up to 2048 user accounts.
The DS118 runs on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, which is a browser-based operating system which helps to simplify managing your Synology NAS. Its CPU is a 1.4 GHz Realtek RTD1296 Quad-Core and its 1GB of DDR4 RAM allows frequently-used files and applications to be quickly accessed. The NAS is capable of achieving sequential read speeds of up to 113 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 112 MB/s, while a dedicated hardware transcoding engine can transcode 10-bit 4K H.265 video on-the-fly. Also featured are two USB 3.0 Type-A ports which allows it to be connected to your Windows or Mac system, and network connectivity is achieved via the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing your stored data to be shared with users throughout the network. Data may also be made remotely available through the free iOS and Android applications. Using the integrated 4K multimedia server on the DS118, Video Station and DS video can be used to convert and play 4K videos from most computers, mobile devices and other media players that don’t support Ultra HD formats.
The DS118 is engineered to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer a 60 x 60mm fan to help keep the system running cool at all times, its noise dampening design of 16.7 dB(A) makes for quiet operations. The server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses.
The Synology DiskStation DS118 1-Bay NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack, a 36W AC power adapter, and an RJ45 LAN cable. It is protected by a limited 2-year warranty.

TtheĀ 10TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5″ Internal NAS HDD Retail KitĀ fromĀ WDĀ is a mainstream solution for the higher workloads required by SMB (Small and Medium Business) users in 1- to 8-bay systems and meets the needs of the ZFS community. Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 10TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 256MB cache, and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 210 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, <1 in 1014Ā non-recoverable read errors per bits read, error recovery controls, and 1,000,000 hours MTBF for 1-8 bay NAS systems. Also built into this drive are noise and vibration protection and WD’s NASware 3.0 helps increase system compatibility, allowing WD Red drives to be more easily integrated with your existing network infrastructure.
- Compatibility: Without being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, improved performance is not guaranteed
- Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one and desktop drives aren’t typically tested in those conditions. WD Red is
- Error Recovery Controls: WD Red NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system. Desktop drives are not typically designed for RAID environments where this can be an issue
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration faced in a multi-drive system. WD Red drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems
