never owned a synology. but i did own a qnap. im over with those prebuilt branded nas. i think truenas is better. the software is free and can use with the hardware u put together. its zfs which is the golden standard for NAS.
that said i dont think syn/qnap/asus will die anytime soon. too many newbs buy that cauz they dont know or dont want to know how to build the hardware
anyway before i migrated i got used to truenas first. once i understood how to use, setup and maintenance, then i switched over. for backup i recommend a 2nd nas to do the rsync to it with truenas. Or what people recommend is the zfs replication (i havent managed to get that to work to my satisfaction).
for qnap some model they had some defects. my 653a was affected. the mosfet up and died. cauz cant boot up the nas. its a known issue.
synology i havent heard anything bad. yeah just clean dust every now and then. set automation for scrub to monthly. long smart once a month. short smart once weekly.
backup depends on u. i do mine 1-2 times a year.
i use 4 drives in raidz1. If 1 drive dies, it goes to degraded mode. if 2 drives die, the whole raid is f***d. but as long as i have a backup its not game over. so i wouldnt worry about raidz1 its good enuff.
anyway ur situation ur warranty about expire. what about the software? at some point they cut u off from updates. with truenas u dont have this issue. eventually a new truenas will have a higher hardware requirement, but that isnt very often. also u can swap out parts as needed.
the thing is about these qnaps/syn etc. they got warranty, but if ever u need to send in repair, its expensive as hell to ship for repair or whatever. also remote support? totally useless.
truenas it is an OS installed on any other pc, so the performance depends on how powerful the parts you put into the pc, mine used to run on a ivy bridge cpu. though truenas is pretty safe, to use the software or additional features you have to install apps on the OS and that sometimes can stop working if you are using third-party appsthat said i dont think syn/qnap/asus will die anytime soon. too many newbs buy that cauz they dont know or dont want to know how to build the hardware
