    Pretty fair review, and I agree fully about the peace of mind hands off part. Could I build some awesome zfs cluster that does amazing things? Sure! But do I want to deal with that day to day for my home storage needs or just plug something in that “just works” out of the box? With time getting shorter and shorter for me these days, every few hours I don’t spend fixing or configuring something means more time with fam or hobbies. I’ve used synology units for almost 15 years and have never had an issue- no plans to scrap it and do it all myself any time soon.
