After shutting my 2-bay DS218+ down for a week, it now won't even power on. I've gone through the troubleshooting and tried a few solutions with no luck, so am looking for a replacement.
I'm considering another Synology NAS since I'm familiar with the software and have everything syncing with other devices in the house. The logical replacement is a DS224+ but my faith in the brand reliability has taken a hit.
Has anyone gone from Synology to another brand? When I bought mine the two best options were Synology and QNAP. Are there any new players I should consider? I've seen a few 'build-your-own' chassis on sale but as someone with limited tech knowhow, I don't know if this is a good option.
For background, I use it to back up photos and documents, download from Usenet and run a Plex server, including 4K content.
That's nothing wrong with Synology
Get a newer model and hopefully you can simply put your old drives in it and it'll be like new
