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 :/
