[chDVRuser]

Just wanted to share some information regarding Synology NAS’s with the community since that’s what I use, hopefully will help some members.

Not saying this is the best, most accurate info out there, but it’s helped me.

Note that these websites are U.S. based.

I have a DS918+ and a DS218+ and both work flawlessly for the DVR! The DS218+ I have at my girlfriends, and although it doesn’t have near the specs of the DS918+ I cannot tell the difference in performance when using the DVR. Hope this helps.
