I think I would stay away from Synology in general these days, after this:

There are plenty of DIY NAS solutions available and I’d just use one.
I might try to install freenas on synology? Dont think they will leave backdoor in the hardware
And if you’re a real fan of Synology ecosystem, there is Xpenology basically porting DSM onto any hardware you want, compatible with all apps. Iirc, the only thing NOT working is QuickConnect (for obvious reasons)
I’ve used a synology as my first NAS. Using truenas now on a selfmade larger one.
The learning curve for truenas vs synology is immense tbh. I’m still not fluent in truenas usage.
You have to be a hobbyist to use a truenas. Synology is fire and forget tbh. My technologically incompetent Gen z (seriously, wtf is up with Gen z it skills…) kids/nephews could use synology. No way they would get truenas running.
That being said, I personally do prefer truenas, but I’ve put in days of works to get where it is.
Privacy Policy nevers works. Libre software does.
u are right, is there someway I can seamlessly migrate to FreeNAS? (Can I install freenas on synology?)
