wow, this one does enticing tho. but my guess is the price will also be eye-watering.

Now I use Synology as backups for the vital data on my unRAID. So from a hardware perspective, I recommend UGREEN. Even someone wants something that just works well enough, the UGOS is fine. It's far behind Synology but it's okay. If you don't mind fiddling a little, use some other OS.
Going forward, I'm done with Synology. They've been and are great, but are just too expensive for me. They are great for people who need something easy to use. So for several of my family members and friends, that's what I recommend. For others who are fine installing and managing a new OS, you can do better building your own and using unRAID or TrueNAS or getting something like this UGREEN.
I still think this isn't priced quite low enough, but if you want some solid hardware and a system you don't need to build, this is fine.

I'm currently running unRAID on mine with Ubuntu and Windows 10 VMs. But I have the more powerful UGREEN NASync DXP6800 Pro. That's not worth the price they charge on their website but at the Kickstarter price it was an amazing deal for the hardware.
I don't need one right away, I think I'll wait for either this or the synology equivalent to go sub 500.
I know synology has worse specs, but a celeron or n100 is plenty capable for a NAS. I would prefer my NAS be stable over compute heavy, anyway, so it's just whichever one comes up with the better deal.
