I'm probably going to regret not springing for the DS923+ to replace My frankenbox xpenology machine. seems to be working so far tho. Should go blow the dust out like I used to every couple of years of runtime.

I made a xpenology originally but it was something in the back of my mind that didn't trust it. Especially having to worry about updates breaking things. It was similar to a hackintosh. I ended up buying a 920+ 0 regrets and peace of mind now. Ended up getting a 220+ and putting it at my parents for off-site backup

DS220j was $135 and DS920+ was $440 on black friday.

as far as I'm concerned that's the sale price for a 4 bay synology NAS. But keep an eye out for the DS423+ which is essentially a DS920+ in a new case (same J4125 processor).

But no integrated graphics could be a deal breaker for some.

There are so many different standalone boxes you can acquire for cheap like the HP microserver with Xeon Processor which would be eeons faster than any of these dumb boxes.. Xpenology dsm 7 works stable bare metal or on Esxi.

Yes there is a learning curve but once your system is up and running it works well for years.

Synology s DSM OS is amazing but their hardware is crimped and the higher spec ones are outrageously priced for even the better Procs.

Xpenology is the way to go. I have multiple systems working rock solid for years from DSM 5 to DSM 6, 7 etc. Just don't mess with them and they work just fine.

Do you have a link to any of the standalone boxes that can be acquired for cheap?

Look at your local Facebook marketplace or Ebay for HP N40, 54L, Gen server 8 or 10 plus all of these except the agen 10 Plus will be below 300 400$. And a much beefier cpu. And ram upgrades possible.

Only caveat would be the synology form factor is very portable. But the micro server is not a huge arse server like a 3U or 4U its a very small cube box shaped server that can take 4 drives plus 1 more (2.5 inch).

You can also add Quad Nic Lan or SFP port etc on it

Granted Synoly boxes are very nice and small, but if it's a NAS cmon how often will you be moving it around. Usually would sit in a corner in your basement or office etc.

You can also use a old server or custom build your small form NAS Box but those wouldn't be same as the HP Microserver.

The best thing about these HP microservers is they are very robust and reliable. I have N54L running DSM 6.1.2 since more than few year and had it on DSM 5.2 before that.

The thing is you cannot just update to synology firmware updates or risk breaking it.

The Xpenology is a port / hack with that caveat yoi get a much beefier cpu and ram etc.

I have the HP N54L running 4x 10Tb drives (red easy stores) for almost 2 years or more. As long as you don't firmware upgrade there aren't any gotchas.

Yes the one thing is Synology quick connect doesn't work as that needs a legit synology serial, but it is very easy to install Zero Tier or tail scale..I use ZT.. for remote access (vpn) from outside your house

Also to add there are other boxes thar will work like the Terra Master NAS boxes with Intel Procs. I have an old Thecus N2520 running DAm 5.2 I use for mini backup server.

There have been Qnap ports as well called Qnology...but ofcourse there is risk. The HP servers are what I personally recommend.. ymmv.

Good luck, the 1621 I watched for a year before it went on sale. Had to wait until BF.
