With the news from Synology about the plus series, I'm kinda at an empass. All of the posts that I'm seeing are telling me it's time to DIY or buy a ugreen and run TrueNas/Unraid. I don't want to do either of those unless I really have to. I really just want to be able to swap my hard drives into a new machine and have it work. I don't need the Synology to be a work horse. I have a m1 mac mini connected that will do everything I need processing wise. I just need more space (I'm currently using a 918+ w/ 2x20tb and 2x 14tb). I want to be able to mix and match hard drives while still having some parity drives. My only problem with my current machine is that if I want more space, I'm no longer getting much bang for my buck by getting larger drives. I would like the security of being able to pop in an extra drive or two (or four I'm open) to a machine. I like being able to have a machine with a small footprint, and I really don't want to build anything. Should I just buy a 1821+ swap my drives and call it day?
