Comment on Should I go with a prebuilt or custom built NAS to get into self hosting?

There are a few people saying that a synology NAS may not do everything you’d ever want, but there’s an underlying assumption there that you should run everything on a single device. There’s value in isolating functions to their dedicated device, especially when the alternative means a guaranteed compromise.

What compromise are you talking about? My NAS runs everything I need just fine, and I don’t think adding another device would improve anything.
The only limiting factors I can think of are performance or memory constraints, but since I don’t use all the services at the same time there is no issue.

single point of failure

That only makes sense when you’re talking about adding redundancy imo, because multiple devices also add more sources of failure.
