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.

Those lines have been skewed over the past decade but it probably still holds somewhat true.
I am also not the person who stores their data on their PC.. And proud to tell people on the interwebs that you only have 6TB on your PC. hahahahaha.. Wow. We're proud of you
Note: The info you gave tells us everything about your tech level. We know.
Where did you even get 6TB from, you need to legit get checked for schizophrenia because you're experiencing a break from reality š¤£
It's also really strange that not only are you afraid to reveal just how little you know about this topic, you're now trying to internet dick measure over how much data you have? Please get help š

If this is so difficult to answer then I question why *you* use this.
If you don't know why you need a NAS then you probably don't need it. It is a very advanced and specialized device. if you want to buy something that helps with storage maybe try Dropbox pro.

A NAS can make your life easier if you know what it is and how to use it.

I guess I'll ask the same thing I asked the other guy - what's one thing you use it for that can't be done using a PC? Please don't go down the same path of "you must not know anything and it's not my job to educate you" he did, I run my own raid arrays and plex server on my PC.
Nothing. If you enjoy playing sysadmin at home (and there's nothing wrong with that) you can likely get a better bang for your buck with a 'home' PC or a decommissioned server.
Yeah I can see it being useful if you don't leave your PC on 24/7, I do though so was wondering if there's some other point to it.
Your asking a trick question. A PC is not usually designed to function as a NAS. But I said a NAS "CAN" make your life easier. Enterprise class NAS systems can do things your PC can't do. For example your PC probably doesn't have redundant power. Whereas a NetApp NAS would.
But time has value and if you consider the setup time and maintenance time it is a lot cheaper (time wise) to just buy the consumer grade NAS and configure it than to try to build a comparable storage system on your own. And don't forget about backups. You probably want 3 copies of your data. So your desktop is one copy but where do you put the other two? This consumer grade NAS is cheaper than buying another PC with hot swappable drive bays and raid arrays. You also have to consider the space the NAS device takes up compared to your PC.

Final example, about 2 years ago, Synology became aware that users had found a method to use BTRFS on the lower end Synology NAS devices. Without any notice, Synology put out a new OS which prevented the users from accessing their data. Synology forced the users to either convert to a different file system (which Synology controlled) or migrate to a more expensive NAS.
Apologize for the rant but wanted to give a little perspective on Synology. BTW, when I decided to implement a NAS, I chose QNAP specifically because of Synology's business practices and never regretted.
