Synology: we used to make a good product that people liked, but we have decided to enshitify it in the hopes of more profits.
Synology next year: why have all of our customers switched to various linux server solutions (small customers), cloud solutions (big customers), and other brands (big customers)?
I would definitely recommend against them at this point.
I own one and would agree, considering all of their recent antics. Do you have a suggestion for a good NAS that doesn’t support a 3.5” form factor? I want a small, silent, energy efficient NAS, using either 2.5” or NVMe M.2 SSD’s.

There are other models too if this is too much hardware
That's like... $7000.
I really want to come up with a use case to justify it though. That thing is a beast.
Lol for sure, there are other offerings too, just threw out the first thing I thought of.
