I deeply appreciate Synology handling away all the Linux jank I would otherwise have to deal with myself. Easily worth the price tag of buying one of their NASes.

Specifically, I have a DS1520+ with five 16TB Seagate Iron Wolf Pro HDDs in a RAID6 config (have another, sixth identical HDD as a cold spare in the closet) and it has been running absolutely flawlessly for the now two years I've had it.

My track record with Linux installations otherwise is "I keep killing them by just breathing on them, god damn.". I'm a walking Linux genocide horror show.
