I'm managing backups for a small MSP and have been using Synology NAS devices for local backup storage at client sites. With Synology now pushing for their own branded hard drives, I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for alternative NAS solutions—both hardware and software. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, Synology doesn't strictly require Synology-branded drives. You can still use other drives like WD Red or IronWolf models without losing functionality. The only issue arises with lower-quality drives that lack full features like SMART reporting, but they will still function as storage.
