Synology strongly recommends btrfs in its NAS systems and promotes that over ext4, which is also supported by Synology. [1] On the consumer side, I guess this would probably be larger than ZFS/XFS usage.

- DiabloD3 3y agoI wouldn't wish a Synology box on anyone. If you need a well supported NAS that anyone can operate, just slap TrueNAS onto a budget NAS box and be done with it. TrueNAS uses ZFS, and actively discourages btrfs due to a history of data loss issues.
