I have Synology DS118 with 12 TB HDD. Using DS118 NAS as media library (Movies, TV Shows, Documentaries, etc.) to stream to TV via Nvidia Shield with Kodi app. NAS is already set up for SMB and NFS (for Kodi) and mapped to my laptop. I have a 5.45 TB library on an external HD. I would like to directly connect my DS118 to my laptop as it seems this would be the fastest way to transfer (copy) my large library to the DS118. A few questions: 1) Is it possible to set up an iSCSI on the DS118 (which only has 1 ethernet port)? If possible, would I have to setup iSCSI again when I disconnect from laptop and put DS118 back on the router...then, at some point, directly connect back to laptop to transfer (copy) future large amounts of data?
