Choose the DS118 if you want the better box: it has a newer/faster ARM CPU and higher RAM ceiling than the DS116, so it’s the safer pick for general use. Both are single-bay units with no expansion, no 10GbE, and no M.2, so the real difference is performance and memory headroom rather than upgradeability.
