The OS is very easy to use and is supported for a long time and that's what you pay for. At the expense of good hardware for the same cost. They used to only require their enterprise tier to need Synology branded drives (at significant cost markup). They've started pushing this on the small home server or small business type ones too. I had an used Synology for years and was full intending to get another when the time came but not any more. I would 100% o for either a custom build. Or buy a prebuilt with features I liked and put truenas on there. Maybe UNRAID if I was slapping together a build from spare parts/drives.
As an aside, most brands have good hardware but dogshit software. I wouldn't trust the QNAP OS with grocery list. UGREEN is getting shilled super hard as a result of the Synology fiasco. That's a chinese brand. Again, I wouldn't trust the OS and wouldn't trust the hardware either desu.
