I used a small Synology NAS from 2012-2019, at which point I replaced it with small linux box because I wanted ZFS. Inability to support ZFS was really the only reason I replaced it; it was still working fine.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoWhat software are you running, and how much time do you spend on maintenance?
- usefulcat 4y agoVanilla Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Every couple of months or so I update all the packages and reboot. That's really all the maintenance I've ever done on it, apart from initial setup. I ought to set it up so that it can email me if a zfs scrub ever detects a problem, but I haven't done that yet.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoThanks! That's a valuable data point for my comparison. By the way, do you run software like Nextcloud, or are you just using it as a storage tank?
- usefulcat 4y agoI use syncthing and Plex, other than that it’s mostly just storage
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoOk, thanks again!
