Seen a Synology 1821+ for circa £858 recently and have been wanting to move from a QNAP TS-873A, what's the consensus re Synology these days. I know the M2 drive pool aspect is frustrating re only support via their own hardware etc.
My QNAP currently has 4 x 12TB WD Red Plus drives and 2 x 1TB WD Red M2 drives. I may get a BOSS card for the Proxmox server and move the M2 drives to that and then use some spare 512GB M2 drives as cache drives in the Synology.
