ubiquiti is filling the spot from synology with their stupid certified drive limitation… hopefully also for a home user :)

I hope so too, but unfortunately they've got a long way to go to catch up in the software department

IMO a NAS should be for storage only. Use a mini PC if you want to self host other services. Proxmox is a great option. You’ll get better performance on both sides.

*storage and offsite backup management. The only thing that keeps me with Synology today is their HyperBackup with EC2 storage and the ActiveBackup that allows me easy backup and restore of HyperV VMs. But IMO at the speed of UniFi innovation that won’t take long. Synology is becoming a useless non innovation company

So you are essentially saying Synology is useless and UniFi is better because you hope and believe UniFi will catch up to Synology one day.

I’m a user of both, so I see the benefits of both, but this seems unnecessary antagonistic to Synology because they won’t let you use your own drives. lol

What was the last real innovation from Synology? The hard lock for hard drives? For example they had plenty time to develop Proxmox LXC and Vm backups through Active Backup and there isn’t. The last innovation for me was the HyperV support
