One of then main devices in my HomeLab is a Synology DS218+ NAS. It purpose mainly for backup and data synchronization tasks.

Synology DS218+ NAS was upgraded to 8GB of RAM. It has two SAMSUNG 870 QVO 4TB SSD, running in redundant mode. The 1GbE network was upgraded with SABRENT USB 5GbE Ethernet and the fan was replaced with Noctua NF-A9 FLX Fan for quieter operation.
