Seconded for Synology. I have had zero complaints with mine.
Comment on what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS?

You can’t go wrong with a 2-bay Synology 🤷🏻♂️ yes TrueNAS is more “selfhosted”, but the Synology is way easier.

Agree with the Synology recommendation for a simple starter. Though personally always recommend the 4 bay.

Also want to call out the importance of 4-bay vs. 2-bay. With 2-bay you get 1-drive fault tolerance in RAID mode, which is nice. With 4-bay, you can still opt for 1-drive fault tolerance and with SHR you can have 4 drives active (of varying sizes) giving you much more available space and making the upgrade path of storage significantly easier.
