What do you use now? Qnap?
I build my own stuff now. I tried qnap after synology but it just sucked in different ways.
Not the person you responded to, but I'll give my unsolicited advice: I switched to Unifi NAS. QNAP has had a lot of security nightmares, and a bad habit of EOLing devices.
The best option might actually be using an old workstation and going with something like TrueNAS, but I enjoy the convenience of a purpose built box.
One big difference between Unifi NAS and something like QNAP or Synology, is that the Unifi NAS only does NAS work, it doesn't run containers or "apps". You need separate compute if you want to run containers.
One thing I didn't know before buying a UniFi Nas was it does not support raid0 or jbod unfortunately
The sounds like a big one. Doesn't affect me, but you'd think a lot of people would want one of those.
Unifi actually sounds better. I'm the same and want my NAS to be optimized by someone smarter than me. I've been using qnap and don't really care for half the crap they offer. They're not as enshittified as Synology, but they're getting there.
