Your conclusion is not supported in the mentioned URL.
What has been described in the URL could've happened with a FreeNAS or TrueNAS or Open Media Vault system or just about any system. RAID is never a backup, and one backup is not enough.
- nicolaslem 7y agoIf you read the parent comment between the lines, it implies that Synology feels worry free in comparison to FreeNAS. My point is that both options have similar chances of breaking unexpectedly.
- aseipp 7y agoIt is also a fact that both meterorites and rain fall from the sky sometimes, but that doesn't mean the "chance" of a meterorite hitting my head are the same as a raindrop. You're only going to get actual, reliable and useful numbers about failure rates between competing products by doing actual studies and analyzing the aggregate results. Anything else is meaningless. And as a buyer, I'm more worried about things like warranty and technical support quality, frankly, if I'm going to buy a prepackaged system anyway, which are easier to gauge from afar.
