I won't argue reliability one over the other. I was curious if you had any insight.

As far as what I can find, there are about six times as many reviews on Amazon for the Synology box as there are for the QNAP, so there's that. On the other hand, the QNAP reviews are a little more positive.

Having messed around with the QNAP's UI, I'd need a pretty compelling reason to go that way; the Synology UI is a lot more intuitive to me. Don't interpret this as me not sincerely appreciating your input - I've enjoyed this decision not at all and every datapoint I can scrounge helps. Personal experience helps loads. Thanks a whole bunch.
