Good to know, but how come in the video he talks about letting people modify it as they please? If its only “viewable” then this doesn’t hold up? Or am I missing something?

although sadly true, it still works quite reliably for me at least.

Do either of them matter in terms of life of the hardisks? My server just had one of its HDDs reach EoL :| Kind of want to buy something that will last a very long time. Also, not familiar with ZFS, but read that Synology uses Butterfs - which always sounds good in my ears, been having a taste of the filesystem with Garuda on my desktop.

Yeah already quite familiar, already got a server but looking for something more premium, but essentially deliver the most easy platforms for the rest of the family to use.
