Synology DS218Play Dubai

The Synology DS218Play Dubai stands out as a robust DiskStation available in Dubai, featuring a Quad-Core processor, an AES-NI hardware encryption engine, Btrfs file system support, and Cinema 4K video transcoding capabilities. Crafted for users seeking a comprehensive storage solution, it not only prioritizes data protection but also delivers swift file transfer speeds, real-time 4K video streaming, and storage for Ultra HD content. With 2 drive bays supporting 3.5″ SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5″ SATA hard drives and SSDs, this NAS ensures the storage and sharing of a diverse array of files, accommodating up to 2048 user accounts and 200 maximum concurrent connections.

Running on the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, a user-friendly browser-based system, the Synology DS218Play Dubai operates with a 1.4 GHz Realtek RTD1296 Quad-Core CPU and 1GB of DDR4 RAM. Achieving sequential read and write speeds of up to 112 MB/s, it employs a dedicated hardware transcoding engine capable of transcoding H.264 (AVC), H.265 (HEVC), MPEG-2, and VC-1 video at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at up to 60 fps via Video Station and DS video. This facilitates the on-the-fly conversion and playback of 4K videos on devices lacking native support for Ultra HD formats.

Equipped with two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one eSATA port, and an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, the Synology DS218Play Dubai ensures connectivity with Windows or Mac systems, enabling data sharing across the network. Remote data access is facilitated through free iOS and Android applications. RAID support includes options like RAID 0, 1, Synology Hybrid RAID, and Basic RAID, catering to diverse needs. Alternatively, for those not requiring RAID, JBOD allows individual utilization of each drive bay.

Designed for energy efficiency, the Synology DS218Play Dubai incorporates a 92 x 92mm fan for consistent cooling, complemented by a noise dampening design registering at 19.9 dB(A) for quiet operations. The server supports scheduled power on/off cycles and hard drive hibernation, contributing to minimized power consumption and operational expenses.
