I think a Synology is best if they lack technical skills. The GUI is nice and integrations are easy enough to manage. Longevity-wise, I’ve have the 918+ since 2018 and it’s still going strong. Plus there are packages for things like Tailscale (easy to use VPN) you could setup for a them. That way you reduce their attack surface of exposing services externally.

I like to buy stuff locally if possible. So having these kinds of stores is awesome. I’ll usually check their open box stuff first.

Ha! They are doing better than chronic lurkers like me :D
