I used to have a synology NAS that would sleep of death itself. Synology support asked me to port forward SSH to the open internet and set no password so they could pull logs over the next few weeks.

Yes, it was legit synology support not a scammer.

No, I haven’t bought synology ever again.

    What do you use now? Qnap?

    Not the person you responded to, but I'll give my unsolicited advice: I switched to Unifi NAS. QNAP has had a lot of security nightmares, and a bad habit of EOLing devices.

    The best option might actually be using an old workstation and going with something like TrueNAS, but I enjoy the convenience of a purpose built box.

    One big difference between Unifi NAS and something like QNAP or Synology, is that the Unifi NAS only does NAS work, it doesn't run containers or "apps". You need separate compute if you want to run containers.

    Unifi actually sounds better. I'm the same and want my NAS to be optimized by someone smarter than me. I've been using qnap and don't really care for half the crap they offer. They're not as enshittified as Synology, but they're getting there.
