Agree. I used to do enterprise storage for a living and I deployed roll-your-own ZFS storage servers at home in the past. But these days I just use a Synology box. I have ~40TB spinning on 5+1 SHR and the thing has been rock-solid for years.

I tend to not run many apps on the NAS but I do use HyperBackup for local and remote backups, and it works pretty well.

How do you have HyperBackup setup? I want to use external USB drives (so I can store copies offsite) and from what I've read it won't span backups across multiple drives - my Synology capacity is 20TB and the external drives are 8TB. So what I'm doing now is doing old-school file copies across to a desktop machine, which isn't ideal.
