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
HTH
Synology is constantly releasing patches to break Xpenology. First Synology started scanning for non-standard hardware, and would refuse to boot the kernel if they detected hardware they didn't sell.
For awhile, people (like myself) were resorting to buying the same peripherals (LAN cards, for example) to get around that.
Synology finally managed to break Jun's bootloader on 6.2.1, and for nearly 2 years, the only solution was to not update with the latest vulnerability patches
Then Red Pill came out, and the war with Synology started all over with 7.x. Now every time a patch comes out, everyone races to the Xpenology forum to see if it breaks Red Pill.
Quite frankly, it's not worth the hassle.

For $250 you get Micro Server Gen 8 w Xeon Proc.any xeon from 5 or more years old will still blow any of their gimped Cpu on the newer syno boxes they make them cute minus the processors.

has 8 GB RAM TO boot as well, ram really makes a big difference when you run plex containers vm or just host applications like photo manager, copy large files or multi task.
I get for those who don't or have the money to $ afford should get the NAS from Synology but what I hate is they and QNAp both put half arse decent CPU only on $$$$ boxes not the 200 300 500$ nas. and it's a shame the boxes are very capable minus the ram and cpu pre installed from syno.
also some Xpenology like HP Microserver Gen 10 Plus that comes with Intel Pentium CpU You can upgrade the Cpu again for DiY ers primarily so ymmv.

Another nice thing is that it sits quietly and politely in the entertainment center next to the Gaming consoles, AV Receiver, etc. It's just another device on the shelves that needs no special attention and doesn't bother anyone by being there.
If I was really interested in DIY I'd fit rack into the basement and build it out with all the stuff my wife would complain about. ;-) But, I have plenty of other hobbies and I prefer ones that don't really mirror my day job in any significant way.
QNAP or Synology or others, they serve a purpose just as DIY can and does. Pick what's best for you and your life.

xpenology basically allows you to run Synology DSM Disk Station manager on Non Synology boxes..you can make DIY a very powerful NAS if cost is not a big concern.
Is 16tb iron wolf a good deal at $250

Also you can try asking on Synology forums..
lI feel that Synology is going backwards with these newer models and 1gbit Ethernet is a huge bottleneck for striped arrays.

Also seems like these Seagate Ironwolf drives are taking over vs WD Red. Anyone have extra insight? Cheaper? Better performance? BOTH???
