This is the reason I upgraded our Synology with a self-built NAS with six disks, a low-power Atom CPU and a really really good PSU connected to a UPS unit for extra security. Never save money with your NAS power solution.

Which OS and file system did you choose? I recently did similar with an old server and Freenas, but I am still not sure if I have a safe (enough) system overall. I chose RAIDZ2 with 4 4TB WD Red drives, ECC RAM, seems to be working well so far.
