Received this it to little box within 24 hours on a free (not Prime) delivery, good service..Got it unpacked after a small panic as the sata lead wasn’t in the box with all the other pits, but found it taped to the enclosures foam wrap, located whilst unboxing.Easily fitted the 2 x 12 TB HD’s (Seagate Iron Wolf) and then hit the design problem.Putting this and the DX918 together is too wide for a comms rack, thought it was the actual rack in use, so changed it for a simpler design, still require a shoe horn and soft mallet (not really) to persuade them to go in. Then the brain wave, turn the shelf upside down, in doing so removing the side supports so the units can be put on the same rack but with a couple of mm going behind the uprights.It doesn’t look shabby,

A solid and sturdy chunk of engineering. Very well packaged, no instructions to speak of but then it is the Synology way to rely 100% on web based documentation. It took literally five minutes to mount five 3.5" disks into the screwless mounting trays (screws are provided in the event you have older/nonstandard disks). I connected it to my DS918+ using a very secure screwed eSATA cable - this short cable assumes you will site the DX517 extension bay next to the DS. I was unsure from the Synology site that the DX517 was compatible with the DS918+ so contacted the retailer, box.co.uk who supplied this via Amazon, for confirmation and they replied within a few hours in the affirmative which was great.

Expensive but cheapest way to get a 9 bay Synology NAS when added to a DS918+... Some reviews say get a 9 bay unit & avoid expansion units... but there honestly are no real world drawbacks.

I was thinking about replacing my HDDs to have more capacity. But for a fraction you can get this and add more drives. At the end is a solution that will help for the future as well

Works great. Unfortunately can’t dim the lights or set them to go off at night or sync the lights to do the same as your main NAS drive.

Exactly as expected and worked straight out of the box.
