Certainly, connecting your DS118 directly to your laptop for faster data transfer is a great idea, but iSCSI might not be the most suitable solution for your use case. iSCSI is typically used for block-level access to storage and might not provide the convenience you're looking for in terms of accessing your media library. Instead, I recommend sticking with SMB for direct connections or using a USB docking station for efficient data transfer between your laptop and DS118. This approach ensures seamless access to your data without the need to reconfigure iSCSI settings every time you switch between direct connection and router connection.
