Synology did a good job of being relatively turnkey.

QNAP has more configurability for better and worse.

Curious ot hear what other manufactures can compare to them out of the box.

Self-configuring something is a different thing.

I simply do not care any more to rebuild raids and manually swap drives under duress when something is going down. I just replace existing drives with new ones well before they die after they've hit enough years. Backblaze's report is incredibly valuable.
