Synology DS218play - a complete disassembly in rules

crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

Here's a step-by-step tutorial to dismount each piece of the NAS until you reach the motherboard.

These NAS models do not benefit from the modularity of the superior models. So forget about adding any RAM or removing the drives in seconds.

'Note: the interest of this tutorial is however limited.'

Internal drives and fan apart, none of the internal component can be upgraded or added.

The dismantling time is estimated at 45 minutes (a single experiment on the timer). That said, it is certainly achievable in 10/15 minutes.

The photographs were taken with a CANON EOS 7D and using a portable LED studio.
