At home I have a synology I bought I think in 2012. Only has
idiot lights on the front so I have to rely on having its logs (plain
old syslog since it is Linux based) and SNMP info sent to elk for
performance/status info and emails for critical issues like failing
drive. I did not put the time to setup an ansible playbook for it yet,
so I have to ssh into it to do updates, resize logical volumes, or
work on the iscsi partitions.
In other words, it is not as feature rich as the competition but then
again my needs are few. In fact I never set it up to do cloud backup
or serve as DNS, wiki, git server, itunes, ldap server, mail, db
server, or whatever (other gimmick) since all I want it to be is a
NAS. Ok, it is acting as time machine for my Macs, but that is the
only other thing it is doing besides garden-variety NFS and iSCSI.
Being a NAS is a full time job; all I ask of it is to do that well.
Now, I am not saying you should buy a synology. I just happen to like
my little guy. When I do need something better, I will build a freenas
box because ZFS.
But, for the love of all that is evil and putrid in the world, please
do NOT buy a Drobo. There is a special hell for those who created it.
