Meanwhile Synology keeps updating my ageing NAS.

They may not have the best bang for the buck for hardware but their software package is really well put together.

Sounds like D-Link is telling people to buy Synology.

Or just build your own? I have an eight-bay running OMV that I built using one of these cool little mini-ITX towers.

The "issue" I have with this case is the SFX format for the PSU, they are rare and more expensive.

Not sure what you mean...? I bought a random Corsair PSU from bestbuy and it's working fine.

[–] NanoooK 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've never said anything about your PSU not working. I've simply commented on the Jonsbo N3 that requires a PSU of SFX form factor. SFX' PSUs are more expensive and less common than the ATX one, that's it.

Well whaddaya know, you get what you pay for.

That being said, companies should be legally obligated to provide security patches for a minimum number of years.

My synology box is 8 years old now and still getting patches. I would actually buy it again. Good work.

I could be a lot happier with Synology. Honestly. When it's time to replace mine I'm just going to build one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same. I'm just making a Truenas server next year when setting up the new network. It's probably cheaper anyway.

I have to say I’ve also been enjoying my synology - going on almost 7 years since this thing was released and I get security updates regularly still. Will buy again once this thing dies.

I bought my DS212 in 2012. Still going strong after two drive swaps. And now I feel old.
