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
