The 418play also offers hardware-based AES-NI encryption, and doesn't lose any appreciable performance with it's switched on. The NAS supports Btrfs and EXT4 file systems, and with support for up to four 12TB drives it can house a massive total of 48TB total storage. They are also lockable with an included key, but this isn't that secure and can easily be jimmied open with a small flathead screwdriver. The four drive bays are tool-less and hot swappable, and can handle both 2.5” and 3.5” drives.

The 418play also has dual USB 3.0 ports (one in front and one back) that can be used to connect external storage devices.

Link aggregation is especially handy in this case, because it means that with the right network setup, you can double the available bandwidth to the NAS. Round the back, the 418play has dual Gigabit LAN ports, which support both link aggregation and failover. It’s also very easy – just pop out the drive bays and the RAM slot is easily accessible. While the NAS handles itself well with 2GB, it’s well worth the effort to add at least an extra 2GB.

The NAS comes equipped with 2GB of RAM, plus an empty slot that can handle an additional 4GB, for a total of 6GB. While the CPU does technically include Intel Graphics, there are no HDMI outputs. The DS418play is built around a now slightly dated Intel Celeron J3355 dual-core CPU, which can burst up to 2.5GHz.
