A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I have two drives of 6 terabytes each. and 3 tablespoons operate independently.
The other disk is used for long-term storage, while the first disk is used for rocking chairs, slaughtering, and a virtual machine.

It turns out that not everything works the way I pictured it.
It is inconvenient to have to place photos and music in specific folders in order for the apps associated with the picture station and audio station to function properly. This is because you likely already have your own folder storage system in place.

Using only 1 gigabyte of random access memory, pi-hole may be run smoothly under Linux Mint.

The task is not pleasant if you store a virtual machine on the hard disk drive of the synology and run it from a computer connected to a gigabit network connection.
I had hoped to operate from a USB SSD, but alas, it was not possible.

Docker is something I've never used before, and in order to start a pi-hole on it, you have to climb over SSH and configure it because it wasn't configured on the buttons when I got it.

Coming from 6 TB. If you choose the correct disk size, BTRFS will only use 5.24 TB of your storage space.

Suitable for one 4 GB RAM module. Crucial CT4G4SFS8266

Conclusion
If you need to store files safely, download and distribute them, view your video library anywhere without any difficulties, and, in addition, do not hunt for software and pay money for it, then this is a good alternative for you. You may watch your video library anywhere without any problems.

If you want to be able to do things that aren't allowed or planned by the marketers, then I believe it's best to put together my device using the appropriate software. Your plans include continually experimenting with new things and going in a different direction.

In the event that the disc is worn out and vibrates, you should set the synology on top of two dishwashing sponges.

Pros

quick fix available. Stunningly little and dependable in appearance. Access to the device can be gained even without a white IP. The video station performs a fantastic job of playing video on both a television and a phone at the same time. You can provide a link to a buddy so that he can upload his files to Synology; the same is true for users on the other end who have little to no experience. Multiple distinct cloud syncs are available. The download station is capable of downloading onto USB disk.

Cons

usb does not support phone and hubs. VMware is available, but moving a virtual machine from a computer to the Synology DS and trying to operate it there will not be successful. It is not possible to install a virtual computer using a USB stick. As an illustration, I planned to place it on a USB solid-state drive (ssd). As a side note, the amount of RAM that can be used by the system is measured in multiples of 1 gigabyte. There is no sync tool available that can copy data from Windows to the location of your choice on Synology. On Synology, there is no program that can synchronize a folder with a USB device. It is utterly absurd that the WEB client for email cannot function unless the server is first installed, and even after installation, configuration is still required. My Synology drive has a channel width of 100 Mbps, however it is only capable of downloading up to 1000 kb per second when connected to the internet. You are unable to grant a specific application access to the Internet when using a virtual private network (VPN).
