My friend has one of the smaller Synology boxes with 20TB and it is pretty nice. You can think of it as the Apple of the NAS systems out there, everything just works.
However, if you like to tinker with your NAS a bit more, FreeNAS is excellent. It's pretty comforting running zfs over standard RAID, and you have a FreeBSD system where you can run anything you want in native jails.
- lsh 8y agoAgreed, QNAP os/distro/apps just feel shoddily made and maintained. If you maintain systems for a living you'll go berzerk trying to track down just exactly what it is doing and why and the constant (weekly?) firmware security updates. I haven't tried Synology in a long time. I'm looking to get my few TBs off of the QNAP and sell it in favour of something custom built.
