Buy the play for media use, the 218 for home use and the 218plus for home/office, heavier usage. **Q: There is no hdmi connection on the box, how do you play your movies to a tv** A: The NAS supports DNLA. Smart TVs can usually see DNLA sources and allow you to browse and stream music, video and photos. Failing that if you have an ordinary TV with a spare HDMI connection you can plug an Amazon Fire stick or Cube into you can use the Synology apps to view and listen to content. Other music and video streaming boxes will work too. It helps to be familiar with IT stuff to get the best out of a NAS like this and one may be expensive overkill for your needs. If your TV has a USB connection and can read external drives it may be easier to copy your movies on to an external drive and plug it into your TV. **Q: Is it bivolt? 220/110?** A: Auto selection ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology DS218play 2 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure - Seagate IronWolf, 4TB, NAS, Internal Hard Drive, CMR, 3.5 Inch, SATA, 6GB/s, 5,400 RPM, 256MB Cache, for RAID Network Attached Storage, 3 year Rescue Services, FFP (ST4000VNZ06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/50398182-synology-ds218play-2-bay-desktop-nas-enclosure](https://www.desertcart.is/products/50398182-synology-ds218play-2-bay-desktop-nas-enclosure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
