Review: Synology DS-1618+ network attached storage device is the best kind of overkill for...
Thanks James and Mike for the great insight! I have just started to do my research for a NAS to use at home (storage, media and all other fun stuff) and it seems that Synology has great software and QNAP great hardware, but the truth is as always there somewhere in the middle. This one or actually the ds1019+ looks like a good fit.djames4242 said:
As Mike implied, the Synology supports multiple storage pools, each of which can be configured differently using a group of drives.Mike Wuerthele said:

Also, QNAP software/interface aside, when I made my decision a few years ago between QNAP and Synology, I found the Synology to be far more capable. If you're just looking for storage, either undoubtedly will be fine. But for adding functionality (running Docker, packages such as Java, PHP, or Python apps, or server applications such as email, DNS, etc), I personally found Synology to offer more capability than QNAP.

Do anyone know how this Synology would compare to a similar QNAP nowadays? -
