It's time to buy a new NAS.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I simply became too erect at the thought of you eventually circling back to this thread and had to stop.

Still. So. Hard.

Edit: Omg he won’t stop. Keep going!

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.

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.

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