No, it didn't, the additional 4G RAM can simply be inserted into the free slot. Regarding warranty, Synology writes "Do not remove the pre-installed memory module to avoid voiding the product warranty" and " Synology will not provide full product warranty and technical support if a non-Synology memory module is inserted. memory module is installed that is not from Synology." So as long as you use a Synology RAM you are on the safe side. If you want to install 16G RAM and therefore use non-Synology RAM (iDomiX discusses this on Youtube, the videos are generally worth watching), you violate the warranty.

Basically, a Synology NAS with the appropriate configuration (e.g. drive) can be compared to a cloud subscription. Note, however, that the speed of access depends strongly on your internet connection at home. I'm currently running a DS414 with 50Mbit/s upload and access to photos is possible but not very exhilarating unless thumbnails are generated beforehand. With a synchronous 1 Gbit/s internet connection, the speed should not be a problem.

hello 80401230 if you need data regularly, the access will be faster because the data is read from the ssd-cache. but probably only makes a difference with heavily used nas. with one ssd you can set up a read-cache. with two ssd's a read/write-cache. on the syno-homepage everything is well described. greetings rené ps i tested your mentioned ssd from samsung in a smaller size. works fine.

You can cache on a read-only volume with a single m2 drive or read/write with 2 m2 drives. Not for the OS, at least not officially. Afterwards, if you find the OS slow, you can add more RAM and remove memory compression (16GB recommended).

The only solution is to do link aggregation ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrégation_de_liens ). The DS918 does it, you need a compatible switch, a network card with 2 compatible Gigabit ports on the computer and 2 Ethernet cables between each device. Not to mention the knowledge needed to configure this mess...

no problem with DLNA playback, even with 4K sources... the weak point will be the TV rather than the NAS!
I know that there are NASs that have HDMI outputs, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The NAS is more like a hard drive on the network that you can access from different devices. Then there are apps like DS Video or Plex that can be used to stream media from the NAS. But you need a Smart TV or a device like a Chromecast, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield TV or similar.
Are the hard drives included or do I have to buy them myself? and if so, which ones are recommended?
This is the enclosure that needs to be populated with disks - e.g. Seagate Barracuda or WD Red.
If you mean the size of the hard drives, then 4x 3.5" hard drives fit in the NAS.
Yes Problem go

No, this is not possible, two NAS cannot be connected together and operated as one system, for this you need a hard disk extension, such as the DX517. It is compatible with the DS918+ and offers an additional 5 storage spaces (this is also the maximum that a DS918+ can use, the 9 in the DS918 stands for a maximum of 9 disks and the 18 stands for the year of release).

The Max Single volume size is 108 TB ;-) every thing else should be available on the Synology Webpage.
If the failed disk in bay 2 is replaced, it can be reconfigured as a hot spare. Or dissolve RAID-1 and reconfigure with disks in bay 1&2 and configure disk in bay 4 as hotspare (backup recommended before).

The way the offer looks, it's just the empty case without hard drives. Time Wawer means nothing to me, so I can't say anything about it.
Unfortunately, under your two models is not simply done with two mouse clicks. You can find detailed instructions here: https://www.synology.com/de-de/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General_Setup/How_to_migrate_between_Synology_NAS_DSM_6_0_and_later

Yes it works, I just tried it with a Delock 3.0 hub and two USB 3.0 external hard drives.
Hello, you can connect it via the address "servername.quickconnect.to". https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/AdminCenter/connection_quickconnect
These are two offers (Digutec and Conrad). We have no influence on the pricing of the more expensive Conrad offer.

I doubt that this is possible. With a Synology NAS, the DSM (DiskStationManager) operating system is installed on the hard disks. It will be similar with the QNAP NAS. I think it is unlikely that the Synology NAS will boot without errors with the QNAP operating system. The best thing to do is to use a SATA2USB adapter to back up the hard disk data to another drive. (Instructions for this are available on the net). Then reinstall the new NAS with the old disks and restore the backup. Alternatively, ask the manufacturer if you can buy the power supply separately as a spare part.

Sure, there are, if you have the device in the browser, they are displayed on the right (softbundle). But you don't save much, just a few francs.

I ordered the "Samsung 970 EVO (500GB, M.2 2280)" and it works great. How big the ssd has to be depends... If you already have a synology and buy it as a replacement, then you can charge for it.
Helpful answer
The cache sizes are per slot, so two M.2 with 1TB each is fine. Furthermore, according to the synology website is the DS918+ also compatible with 2TB M.2 SSDs. => https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility Not sure what you mean by the second question.. Yes M.2 NVMe drives are supported if you mean this. => https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/Storage/Which_Synology_NAS_models_support_SSD_cache
Did you open the ports on the router when a new router was delivered?
