Coming from Synology it was a little too walled garden for me and I also hated their software, but that was also my first forray into nas. Good place to get my feet wet and all. I’m not really well versed in nas os’s though, any recommendations?
Comment on Advice on swapping from Synology to a ugreen

I moved from my old nas to my new in a similar manner.
I have a two disk mirror. Call the disks d1 and d2.
- removed d1 from the old server, put it in the new nas
- creat fresh filesystem on d1
- copied the data, over the network, from d2 to d1.
- took d2 from the old server and added it to a mirror with d1 in the new server. Let it resilver.
It worked, but I was damn sure to have a backup.
Also note, the ugreen nas software is garbage. Install your own os.

People like FreeNAS.
I just installed alpine Linux. I just wanted a compact Linux with good ZFS support.
