i recently went from synology to truenas all flash. i do not miss synology one bit. the opensource ecosystem is already there.

for example, Immich is a huge upgrade to Synology photos. I didn't know how much i was missing out.

Flash is rather expensive for storing photos and video.

you can get 5 to 10 times more GB/$ with magnetic drives. The best solution is something that is smart enough to stream linear reads like movies from disk but cache data with random IO patterns on flash.
