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 NEED VirtIO drivers if you choose to run Windows VMs; Google some easy how-to's if not familiar, because if you don't the VMs will struggle like you're remoted in from the north pole, laggy/unresponsive/disk latency/disconnects. With the drivers they're fine. Don't be halfway to repackaging the QNAP like I was before realizing there's a solution.
Handles aggregated 2.5Gbe x2 just fine with my Netgear 10-Gig switch.
Skip the Tiering/SSD cache if all you're doing is using it as a file server.
Mine's been good for a year and a half now, no hiccups, but set Firmware update to manual and delay that shit a couple months at least because QNAP sometimes does an oopsy.
Security = no worse nor better than any other brand, it's all about whether the person who manages the device left it wide open to the internet or not. Locking down remote access to certain IPs should be the bare minimum, and ideally no outside access at all.
Ended up getting it at B&H.
Thanks OP!
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 had a diskstation and QNap running on my home network for a couple years for redundancy after an HDD failed. After my Qnap was hit with ransomware in 2020, I enabled 2fa. Less than a year later it got hit with ransomware again. Somehow the ransomware got through. The DS was never hit, so I put away the Qnap and will never use again. I thought 2fa was the end all answer.
Thanks for the info. Any idea when the media station vulnerability was patched? If it was after I got hit the second time, I'll consider to update and redeployā¦

What a packaged NAS gives you is convenience of getting things running simply and having a consistent UI for managing it.
From a hardware point of view, it's a lot smaller footprint and power utilization than a full size PC. And you generally get the ability to how swap drives if one fails. Something to never underestimate if you run it 24x7 like most people do.
I don't have a full size PC anymore, I have mostly laptops and a mini-PC running an AMD Ryzen 7 with NVMe and SSD drives Internal for just compute (docker, Plex, apps). It's about 4"x4"x2" and runs cool. And when it comes to power, it's easier to get extended runtime on an UPS with a NAS that doesn't have a massive GPU in it. Most NAS just use integrated graphics because you aren't trying to game on them.
The more apt analogy someone should have used is cars. If you have a Porche, why would you need a truck. You may not, if you never need to haul anything over a small trailer or that fits in roof racks.
I've been using QNAP NAS for over 13 years. I finally upgraded my original TS-509Pro. But I removed it from the Internet a couple of years ago. I use a VPN on my firewall to access it if I am not at home. I also just recently set up myQNAPCloud, but am still not sure about it it works pretty well but I do have reservations about their security. I may disable it unless/until I really need it.
The firmware on the unit is from a way's back. However even before you plug in any drives, you can power the system up and access the web setup interface. After hitting start the very first screen lets you upgrade the firmware to 5.x
Also this unit has the cutouts inside so you can upgrade the memory without taking it apart (carefully)
Basically, the worst experience I had with any boxes. 1. Performance of "thick volume" is terrible, I only get 30MB per second read/write. Changing to "traditional" improved performance, however, I had to start from scratch for this. 2. Mounting my existing network shares is a nightmare. Hypermount doesn't work at all, cannot connect to any server. Trying to mount through autorun.sh is a struggle and as of now it only works half the time (only one of two shares are mounted at startup). 3. Trying to install utilities through Entware resulted in multiple errors. This is where I stopped. Overall, the user experience is not as smooth as some oddball boxes, even worse than a hacked router.
Usually I do not return this type of product, but if I keep this one, it's going to drive me insane in troubleshooting. QNAP's document is total mess, they really need to clean up. And more importantly, looking at that many things went wrong, I really cannot trust my data with it.
