It's hard to find any other products that compare to DSM. It really is something special. It's worth a small premium in hardware costs. But I share a lot of the concerns as everyone else here and will be considering other options.

A friend has a Synology NAS and I have a QNAP NAS. In my experience, QNAP's QTS (QuTS Hero if you want ZFS) is directly comparable.

QNAP has more or less caught up with Synology, but for a very long time Synology had a substantial edge.

That's good to hear. It was pretty far behind last time I looked.
