Given Ubiquiti's history of abandoning entire product lines, I cannot ever imagine trusting a ubiquiti closed-source NAS product with my data. No thank you. Not when TrueNAS exists.

Basing your major infrastructure choices on Ubiquiti feels a kickstarter purchase every time. Huge claims, borderline religious following community, an intentional and almost proud absence of technical support, and a coin toss if the product line will still exist in 24 months.

And when they work as advertised they are fantastic.

Thankfully it's not dissimilar to Synology internally: btrfs+mdadm on the smaller ones, ZFS on the big ones.

Shouldn't be hard to migrate if it got discontinued.
