I have an old QNAP and I hate it. It’s full of proprietary software that can’t be removed, and is slow, probably because it doesn’t have SSDs. It’s, I think, RAID1.
Basically just need something to back up my data on my local network that has encryption. Open source is always nice as well. Simple and fast!


I recall hearing that there’s a Debian install for Qnap devices. I’ve been considering reimaging an old Qnap with Debian and Minio for backups.
