Synology’s DS218+ NAS is too good to pass up on Black Friday

There are plenty of reasons to have a NAS at home, be it at the center of a home media server, a cord-cutting setup or just good old fashioned data backup. When you’re shopping for a NAS one of the leading names you’ll want to check out is Synology, and one of our favorite units, the DS218+, has a nice little discount for Black Friday.

Setting up the device is a breeze. It takes literally 10 minutes, at the very most. All you need to do is hook everything up (following the well-laid-out instruction booklet), turn on the unit and follow the wizard in the web browser. After setting everything up, the DiskStation Manager (DSM) will handle most of the tasks behind-the-scenes, including the automatic download and install of updates, should you activate this feature.
