Being built on Windows' own rendering engine, it's largely relying on Windows' own updates to keep it secure.

I wonder if this is because of their ads partnership they have with Microsoft atm, they kept that avenue open by relying on their engines and security updates??

I've been running a Buffalo 220, 2 bay drive for over 6 years now. I use it to host my Plex media non-stop for that time. Only issues are sometimes when there is a power loss, it gets unmounted or gets reassigned a new IP from the router, but thats mostly me not assigning a static private IP. I believe the one I have only allows for max 8TB but I think it can go up to 16TB. Do not know what the prices are in EU but it similar or slightly cheaper than Synology in price. https://www.buffalo-technology.com/productpage/linkstation-ls220d/

Yeah, the main thing I hate the most is that they took the words away from the right click menu. So if you want to rename something, you have to click an icon and half the time I am wondering if I am about to delete it or rename it.
