Comment on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 day agoIf I was an OEM like Beelink or Servermicro I would be rushing to make an unbranded storage box, five or six 3.5 in SATA hot swap bays in front, 2-4 NVMe ports on the bottom, decent low power CPU, and an SODIMM socket or two. They’d sell a ton of them.
There’s no shortage of alternatives to Synology hardware. People buy Synology because of the software.

Tons of alternatives from other NAS vendors, but I’m not sure anyone makes a Synology type box that is a generic x86 to run your own OS. Plenty of tower server type things but I’m not aware of any little toaster type boxes.

You can buy a NAS case, get a cheap matx or itx motherboard and roll your own with ease. Where exactly have you looked?
Here’s one such case: a.co/d/eUz87Mh

Lots of companies do. Or at the very least they make them to where you can install whatever you want yourself.
