Synology NAS - an ugly doorstop with data loss resulting from its half-baked post-purchase attempts to enforce hardware vendor lock-in. (Was working fine w/ a Western Digital drive, the next day, boom.)

I’ve had a synology NAS that’s been running for 8 years. No data loss. I use random drives I had laying around. It’s not the fastest or fanciest, but I never had any experience with lock in. It’s got a 3rd party 10g card, more memory … nothing locked in.
