I am looking to buy a Synology NAS to replace my Raspberry Pi 4B. What data does Synology collect off the NAS? (scribe.disroot.org)

Greetings! I've been daily driving a Raspberry Pi 4B as a home server for quite a while now and thought it was a great time to make the switch to a proper NAS.

My current Home Server setup uses 2 Raspberry Pi's. One is where i selfhost all of the stuff i need, and one hosts my website.

The Pi only has 4gb of RAM, which is ok for me. But i can't really say much about it's performance. In Jellyfin, it's struggling with streaming music. Not even a movie, a single MP3 file, it struggles with it.

I tried solutions like Nextcloud for a Selfhosted Cloud Storage Solution, but it would always wipe out it's config every time the pi reboots.

I am looking forward to buy a Synology NAS. Their Web interface seems intuitive (theres even docker support too) and easy to use. However, i really am concerned on what data can Synology collect off of it.

So, what data can Synology collect off the NAS and is it safe in a Privacy nerd's view?

Don't disagree with your post, I've gone that route too, but I have had a couple RAIDs crash over the decades and dashing to a computer store and slapping drives from a dead box to a new one got me back up and running the quickest.

I can totally build a server with my spare parts lying around, but my system doesn't care when I have free time to tinker; assume it will fail at the worst possible time like the day you leave on vacation.

But yeah, if you're pinching pennies, build something fun and learn along the way. Frustration is the key to memory permanence. 😁
