Oooh ok, that now makes totally sense :- ). That is really bad setup haha, but I also thought of doing it that way at one time :- ).
Yes, big plus for Synology is ease of use as the whole system is single-oriented (though I found the venerated ecosystem of apps to be user-friendly but slow in performance across any metrics, I used to have one, and particularly back-up real-time sync was just ultra-slow).
I originally built normal file-server when I realized bigger NAS with Add-in 10GBE was 1K investment and was like LOL, I can just repurpose my old PC to 10times the performance.
The best file-server would be the 12-core ThreadripperPro with 128 PCI-lanes, that's just crazy, too bad OEM only and who knows when it comes to market in fall.
The latest Windows Server edition is based on Windows 10, so very easy to use, ultra stable. But the drivers on it are such a hassle I would still install Enterprise and just reboot it every 3 months for that required update installs.
