The FlashStation FS1018 is a powerful 12-bay, low-latency, all-SSD NAS powered by an Intel Pentium D1508 dual-core CPU. “Designing a form factor that satisfies the need for both performance and drive capacity was crucial,” said product manager Jason Fan. The DS218 is also optimised for 10-bit 4K H.265 video transcoding via Video Station. Michael Wang, another product manager at Synology, noted that 4K video content is “becoming more and more common”. Synology has received several media accolades, topping the mid-range NAS category in TechTarget magazine’s storage-solution survey and winning PC Mag Readers’ Choice seven years in a row.
