Comment on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome
ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 1 day agoMine has an internal USB so you can open it up pretty easily and install any version of Linux you prefer. Not sure what model you bought, but I would assume you can too.

I probably could, but frankly it’s not worth the effort when my pi is already set up the way I like, and is more powerful. I don’t see the advantage of trying to hack the nas into shape when its hardware is atrocious anyway.
It has 1GB of ram and the CPU scores 131 on geekbench: browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/20874021
My pi has 8GB of ram and scores 1018 on geekbench, and cost half as much (~£90-100 vs I think ~£180-190).
What do you find is the advantage of the nas if it’s outperformed by the cheaper pi?

That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.

Like you said, sketchy OS, that is probably less performant than Linux and may not get proper security updates.
