I've been using Xpenology on an old PC for years without a day's problem. Super quick and super reliable. Because DSM 6.1 was the latest I could run, it was very outdated so I bought a Synology DS220J without much thought. My God, is the thing a pile of crap. My dead nan responds quicker than this heap of junk.

I know I could build a much faster, cheaper NAS again but I'd like to have something that can just sit there, update itself and work without me having to worry about it for once. So with that in mind, what's the fastest two bay Synology for home use?

Main reason for wanting something more modern is to migrate completely from iCloud. So far the Synology is doing it brilliantly syncing my contacts, calendar, photos and files from my iPhone. So the functionality is there.
