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.

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

The newer well for me HP n54l I did upgrade to DSM 6.1.X but not going further due to the trial error method I cannot afford downtime so it just stays on that build. I did upgrade it to 16GB memory and the AMD cpu easily handles my plex needs granted I only have 1 or 2 users I don't share my library. Also run docker, Virtual Box , torrent manager etc and it's been working quite well for me.
I get it's not for everyone, especially if you want to DIY Xpenology but keep your box very up to date..then you risk breaking your existing stable setup. Which I dont..i first test on another machine and see if it's worth my time to update. Also Unless you expose your NaS directly by port forwarding to the internet which no one should *rather use OpenVPn, tailscale or zero tier.. why does it matter you be on the latest build? Most necessary features like BTRFS, SHR enhancements etc are all mostly same since 5x maybe 6x is most you need.
Do we really need to be on DSM 7.0?
Again this Xpenology is not for everyone. Only you can decide.
Hmmmm.... What to do
