Actually perfect timing (for me, it's all in all terrible)... I was about to buy myself a NAS and struggled to figure out which to get, and this removes at least one option.
As I read this, I am just transfering over to TrueNas on totally open hardware (from Synology). After 1 week, I am loving it. A bit of a learning curve, but TrueNas seems really nice and solid.
Honestly if you're comfortable with Linux I just built my own at this point, but if you're not then obviously don't take my advice
Yeah, I daily Linux, so I wouldn't mind. It's just that I want a decently sleek system with less risk of making a mistake when it comes to what I'd want to store. (I follow the 3-2-1 on important files anyway thought)
