Synology DS918+ NAS w/ Quad-Core Intel CPU, Upgraded RAM, & More! Great for Plex, VMs, etc. Boxed! Plus extra 2.5gbe adapter as freebie!

Hi there,

Selling a boxed, working as new, upgraded Synology DiskStation DS918+ with upgrades and extras. These include upgraded RAM (from 4GB to 12GB which is 1x 4GB and 1x 8GB stick), which is great for VMs, Plex, etc. Note: Only selling as a bundle; not looking to split this out. All is boxed, with original accessories plus some other extras I bought (dust filters for sides, bottom, front, etc.).

I'll also include a free bonus USB to 2.5gbe adapter, which works well but does require a custom driver to be installed (guides online, pretty straightforward to do). It's what I've been using the entire time, and it's been great.

Questions? Please ask!
