When I was evaluating a NAS, I ended up DIY because it was easier, less expensive, and had better specs than what Synology was offering. You can run TrueNAS.
Is there a chassis you know of that has similar dimensions to the DS923? I know it's a strange concern but size is an issue for me.

I use a version of this. It's a bit tricky to work in due to the tight quarters, and if you use a hot CPU then your CPU fan will be running high and loud, but for mid-low-range stuff it's great.
Thanks a lot. I have looked around and haven't found anything like this.. Maybe my search words weren't the right ones.
Yeah I don't remember how I heard about them, but they don't show up very often. Most of my experience was seeing them rebadged for Datto appliances.
do birds fly? do ducks duck?
I don't off of the top of my head.
