Ideal Companion for Your Own Cloud

Synology DS418j is a powerful entry-level 4-bay network attached storage solution
equipped with a 64-bit dual-core 1.4 GHz processor and 1GB RAM, delivering
sequential reading throughput at over 112 MB/s and writing throughput at over
108 MB/s, and an encrypted sequential data transmission at over 112 MB/s reading
and 87 MB/s writing. The great combination of the 64-bit hardware and
DiskStation Manager (DSM) allows DS418j to take advantage of large-capacity HDDs
for exible storage volume management as well as ecient le sharing and data
backup.

Cross-Platform File Sharing and Data Synchronization

Synology DS418j supports comprehensive network protocols, ensuring a seamless le
sharing experience across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® platforms. Windows AD and
LDAP integration allows DS418j to t quickly and eortlessly into any existing network
environment without the necessity to recreate user accounts. Cloud Sync keeps your
Dropbox, Google™ Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Baidu Cloud, and Box storages in sync
with your personal DiskStation at home. The Cloud Station Suite enables you to sync
les among multiple devices — Windows PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android™ tablets/
phones — easily keeping everything up-to-date. All the seamless le sharing over the
Internet is protected at a high security level with the HTTPS, rewall, and IP auto-block
mechanisms supported by DS418j.
