    Am now engaged in a fulfilling new hate-hate relationship with my NetGEAR NAS box. I hate it almost as much as Jacob Rees-Mogg.

        ReadyNAS? I've had many painful episodes with those. What in particular?

        1. MyNetgear cloud is totally fubared, would not create account (and password character restrictions are dumb). 2. Dropbox sync isn't. 3. Time Machine backup won't. ...

        Oh, and ReadyNAS appears to be allergic to Safari.

        HP Microserver (or similar) + FreeNAS is a winner.

        You need new AutoTweetBlock™ or the TwitterPrefDAO. (They run great on Workbench 1.3 on Amiga or Urbit on an array of 1000 fitbits)

        After such episodes with WD and qnap NASes, I became a happy synology NAS user without any issues since , like I had before.

        Have you done a Laundry bit yet about computer software/hardware that is deliberately designed to enrage users as part of a summoning ritual for something horrible? Would fit right in with the Powerpoint brain melt -> zombie one.

        For small home NAS-boxes where you don't want to get your hands dirty building your own - I've always rated Synology.
