DS2419+ with a DX1215II expansion unit. For years I used (and still do) UnRaid but cases with all hotswap bays were difficult to find that fit my needs. At the end of the day I want my NAS to be stupid simple to maintain and Synology (currently) fits that bill. I am concerned with all the "Synology-branded drive" BS they are pushing and that might influence my next NAS purchase. I use UnRaid as my "App" server still but Synology is the data layer (just NFS mounts to the UnRaid server). Synology is expensive (comparatively) but it's been way easier to maintain/manage than my UnRaid servers (I have 3 pro licenses, or whatever the highest tier is/was before they moved to subscriptions). I wanted something that "just worked" and so far Synology has fit that bill.
