Turnkey with some serious regrets.
I just need a simple way to store my data and back it up. I went with a Synology DS1621+ and I also have a DS218j.
Things that really had me questioning my choice:
So I'm downgrading my Ryzen machine to a low power APU and going to use it as an all flash server. Will use TrueNAS and just have my SMB shares. Only going to boot my Synology once a day for a couple hours to back up everything so I have my second copy. The one thing I like about the Synology devices is that it's super easy to schedule on/off time windows.
So annoyed that I spent all this money on the DS1621+ and it's just going to act as a backup server. Will probably look to replace the DS1621+ as a backup eventually too.
Thanks for that, good insights. Interesting to hear about noise and power consumption of these devices because that's supposed to be a selling point. As you said, disappointing considering the price tag.
I am leaning more towards DIY now...
