I have a DS220+, which frankly I love, but I’m looking to replace it soon. It only has 2 drives, Synology is pulling some fuckery with needing their branded drives and I’m staying on the 6.x firmware given what I’ve seen/heard with 7.x

All that being said, I’m trying to find something that is:

• At least 4 bays
• Small form factor (it shouldn’t be much bigger than the drives it’s holding)
• Capable of running Docker
• Capable of backing up to an S3 bucket
• Capable of backing up Windows Clients
• Habe a decent GUI (I can do CLI, but frankly, don’t want to)

I was thinking potentially QNAP, but didn’t know what else is out there. I really do like Synology and would have looked at one of their models but their vendor lock in move ticked me off. Maybe finding a used 420 or 920?
