https://nascompares.com/2018/03/25/new-ds1618-nas-from-synology/ The product is immediately for sale at $799.99. This NAS is targeted for small and medium businesses. To cut down on price Synology decided to go with an Atom processor and 4GB of memory instead of 8GB. This is a good looking NAS but I feel Synology could have made the NAS even smaller.
