They dont routinely get hacked, Synology has had just as many exposures to ransomware such as eCh0raix, brute force attacks happen.

The problem is as mentioned people open up the internet and use very easy to guess passwords, then they also dont update their environment regularly. Been running QNAP NAS devices for over 10 years now, not a single ransomware issue in my environment.

If you look at the majority of people who get hit with it, its people who haven't updated in a long time.



Its not much more secure, they had a vulnerability for well over a year after it was reported to them and still didnt do anything about it a few years ago.

They are definitely more "Apple like" I had synology units in the past they were nice, but the price tag for the hardware you got was not equal and now they lost their OS edge and QNAP OS in my opinion is way more powerful and also user friendly. That was not true 5 years ago.
You can still use it locally and just not expose it to the internet, which is probably best for sensitive data anyway.
Same thing happened to Synology users.

Have had this exact unit for a little over 9 months now I think and very solid.

Started with 4x3TB drives and just recently replaced 2 of them with 6TB drives. Have 2x raid 1 volumes for storing movies, pictures, music and docs. Even setup an encrypted backup of docs to OneDrive.

Very nice.

Thanks,

Bub

Stay away from qnap. They routinely get hacked and the only safe option is to unplug it from the network which defeats its purpose.

I'm waiting for a Synology unit to go on sale. Their software is much more secure and "Apple like" than QNAP

Its not that they access your data, they just inject an encryption script and ransom your data. Ask me how I know.

Seriously screw Qnap. Don't buy their stuff.

Also remember, with QNAP you at least have the option to load TrueNAS on it if you don't trust QNAP's security.

I'm a Synology user and have had a great experience with them, specially with their customer support. Will very likely buy another Synology because of that customer support experience and their Software, in particular the SHR option. But I do feel screwed every time I see the hardware spec of their devices.

If the 6bay version of this QNAP came to a very tempting sale price I would very likely just grab a QNAP.

Yep on average you would be looking to spend minimum an extra $100 for similar hardware.

Just want to add for those really worried but want to try QNAP, just enable to 2FA and you should be 99.9% safe against most forms of brute attacks, takes less than a minute and easier than using a VPN.

I use Tailscale for access. Easy, secure and it makes all your devices appear on the same network due to it being a transparent VPN.

I missed out on the synology sale a couple months ago. I'm debating pulling the trigger or see if something else goes on sale closer to black Friday.

I have never used Tailscale but I believe my NordVPN has a similar feature, will have to double check.
