Comment on With the recent happenings with Synology/Plex, I’ve decided it’s time to make the move and up my self-hosting game, just need some input from the veterans to solidify my plan and put it into action.

  The thing Synology does which no competitor is yet doing is rock-solid stability.

  I have a 10 year old Synology running as well as it did the day I bought it, and I’ve never needed to troubleshoot a single issue on it.

  Until a competitor can match that I will still be buying Synology, with the increased drive price the cost I pay for that stability.

  I think people underestimate the value of that.

    Yeah it honestly sucks what they are doing, otherwise I wouldn’t even be doing this and would be getting a 6 or 8 back Synology instead. I am just sick of bullshit from these companies and it reeks when you have to buy ‘their’ drives that are literally stickered over Toshiba’s or whatever. Its a bummer, really :/
