If I didn’t have a server at home with a VM for a nas, then I would go with Synology. Great devices.
What hardware are you running?

I had a qnap, but it died within a year. I didnt even use it much.

That is their claim to fame. Fast, loaded with features, dies quickly, and basically no support.

@fuznutz04 I believe I just recommended that Synology model to my Museum director. It is for his home and he is just using Western Digital passports. When he complained about losing some family photos I inquired as to what he was doing for backup. Since he is not overly technical I recommended the Synology and offered to help him with it if he wanted. I have complete confidence in Synology because you get what you pay for.

Just found this review of the Netgear ReadyNAS 524X. Apparently Netgear have a new line os NAS units.

I am flat biased against the Netgear name. I have never liked them after the first couple home routers I tried from them way back around 2000 sucked balls.
Opinion reinforced in 2009 when my predecessors used Netgear switches at a client and we had issues setting up a basic VLAN trunk port (VLAN for guest WiFi).
Opinions reinforced again when we picked up a client in 2011 that had all Netgear switches and I could not get them to properly team with LACP when the switches said they could do it.

It's not just you, I've never liked them either due to similar issues.
