After the announcement of the 918+ earlier this year, I put my planned purchase of a 916+ on hold because I wanted the dual NVM SSD drive support for improved caching/performance.
Picked this up along w/ the 4GB memory upgrade and 4 8TB IronWolf Pro drives. Had the hardware up and running in less than 30 minutes. Installation was a breeze, went with SHR-1 to get the most space while still benefiting from striping. Took awhile for the initial parity check to complete, but all drives checked out.
Been using the system for well over a month now. My Macs back up to it using TimeMachine. I've got CloudStation Sync running to have an auto-synchronized folder shared across all systems. I have the VPN setup so I can log in while on the go and access the server. I use PhotoStation to centralize the family photos and make them available for web browsing and sharing w/ friends and family. With remote DSM enabled, I can log into the box externally and upload/download files via the web, even from organizations that normally block standard file sharing sites.
Honestly with the DSM software this NAS can do so much more than what I have planned for it, but it has absolutely performed as well as I expected.
Even with the IronWolf Pro drives which many report to be a "noisy" drive, this system is extremely quiet and I never hear it running. It is so quiet, in fact, that I changed the fan settings to run all the time to keep the drives cooler and I still don't hear it running.
Reading other reviews I noted that one person saw the blinking blue light on restart w/ no apparent activity - it is important that you give the box time to start up. That blinking blue light means the system is starting but is in the process of verifying the drives, such as the striping, etc. It can take quite awhile for this to complete, especially when you have larger drives and more TB, and by awhile I mean it can be many hours. Just have some patience and give the box the time it needs, that is how you ensure the system is ready and you won't suffer data loss.
