The native OS has been improving over the last few months, and as others have mentioned, you have the option to install TruNAS.
On sale, I would recommend purchasing this if you plan to stream 4k content and need a good back up storage system for home use.
Their software is great, hardware spec is just okay, security and service is decent compared to QNAP. I don't really know how Asus or Terramaster is, and Buffalo or WD users seem rather not very vocal...
a friends said UGreen (he was a backer) was buggy AF, and mentioned service is subpar - but supposedly both are better now but not at Synology or even QNAP level.
Also, I dunno how many looking for 2 bay NAS on sale would really spend money on 2.5GbE switch and NIC's or run enough dockers to need 8GB of RAM?
Synology's hardware is well below "just OK". It's actually startlingly terrible. Their unreleased 2025 models are using 5+ year old SoCs. They have 1 gig ethernet, and even the 2025 models are just getting 2.5gbe. Everyone else is on one or more 10gig ports. Synology doesn't even have a single product with a non celeron Intel chip for quicksync. If you want to use plex, there is literally not a good Synology product.

Exactly, I bought 4x WD 8TB Reds but they were so loud and slow, I returned them and got SSD drives. Now it's whisper quiet and fast!
I upgraded from Qnap to UGREEN 4800+ and like it so far. They keep updating and tweaking their operating system and it looks and works so much faster.
Remember this.
There are only 2 NAS companies. One is Synology and another one is QNAP.
That are overrated and charge you arm and a leg for mediocre hardware.
UGREEN hardware is years ahead especially for the price. Whoever doesn't like their software, just take out the OS drive and put a new one and install TrueNas which is a lot better than Qnap and Synology
Whatsapp already has end to end encryption by default. One of their leadership also clarified that they don't collect people's chat metadata. So I guess Whatsapp isn't that bad nowadays. Signal would be better for privacy. And I donated money to signal in the past. However i see that Whatsapp has more features and more people are using it than signal. I use them both.
Find me something cheaper with same hardware….
Also, I keep seeing a lot of people use Docker containers on these...I'm a web developer and use Docker on my projects, so I'm pretty familiar with it, but can someone tell me some good use cases for it on a NAS?
You would run plex in docker. I run Jellyfin on a NUC I bought waiting for a Synology sale that never happened. One thing nobody mentions is the Ugreen case is metal not plastic like Synology.
I don't want to sound like I'm a fan boy because I'm not. Synology did me a favor by not having a sale or I never would have looked at these.

You're right that the gov of your own country has the ability to cause more harm to you than foreign gov. I think it makes a lot of sense for Americans to use software and services provided by European countries (if quality is the same), because they're different jurisdiction. Proton Mail, and many other good stuff.
However, that doesn't mean it's safe to hand over the control of your NAS and data to North Korea. In the age of Internet, they can also do a lot of harm to you with your data in hand.
