As a previous synology owner I can confirm there are also a lot of problems and security issues. In fact, all these internet-connected devices could be a victim of ransomeware/malware. IMO, instead of saying who has problems, it's more useful to share some tips regarding data backup and protection.
I bought this a year ago, probably the worst purchase of my life. Two full data losses that were QNAPs fault (one ransomware, one bad drive management). Working with support is like pulling teeth. I bought this to be "easy" but I've spent hours upon hours fighting the bad interface, absolutely nonexistent error messages, etc.
Looking to basically bite the $450 I paid for it and migrate to Synology this week.
Stay away.
PC consumes more power than these devices
PC you have to maintain software..its a constant battle
There are several developers working for us in these systems to update the software and security make these systems better everyday

Great deal, just ordered one! I've been debating between this and the Synology 920+ but decided on this one as the 2.5GBe was nice to have since my router supported it

After initially setting up your Synology, be sure to run their security advisor and follow the steps. Simple things like changing the default port number, forcing HTTPS redirect, using the internal firewall to block other countries from connecting, and enforcing 2FA for all users go a long way in ensuring security.
I also highly recommend using Hyper Backup combined with either their C2 cloud storage or another provider.

100% agree. I bought a QNAP TS-453be and I no longer trust it with my data or even as a device my network. The worst part is I have no confidence that QNAP will improve over time— they are still doing insanely stupid things like hard coding login credentials into their software (CVE-2021-28799).
Never issues with qnap nas 453 bt3 or software, they steady keep updating it and its secure as much as u want to secure it there is options within qnap software. Also put good drives and no speed issues, this is a good deal
I've had my 453Be and installed 16GB of memory for over 3 years with zero issues. Never turned on the QNAP service so ransomware is a lot harder to get. Had WD Red 2TB's at first and now using 8TB Ironwolf's.

Anyone have suggestions on preventing Plex from crashing all the time in the QNAP software? I have the 453be with 16gb of ram and have to reset the Plex app every couple of days.

Same here, I read people downgraded back to 8gb RAM and Plex stopped crashing. But honestly I don't want to downgrade so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place haha

There's gotta be logs as to why it's crashing. I have 16gb and have been running it for a long long time without issue. Are you upgrading Plex regularly?

What's are the major differences between the two?
453D is 4 bay... 653D is 6 bay, which is why it's in the name. They are identical hardware wise

I definitely upgrade Plex regularly, haven't done much research beyond a few posts but will take a look at the logs

this is not the Nas brand that you're looking for

It wasn't the qnaps fault, your pc was infected and had rights to encrypt the data. The QNAP was not infected.
