Question for fellow BSD lovers. I have an old Synology 2-bay NAS which is getting really slow, basically I use it only as a syncthing tank at the moment as it cannot handle my google photos exports, let alone video streams.

With the incoming pre-holiday season, I’m starting to look at a new NAS to get with some Black Friday promotion.

I do not have big requirements:
1. Low power consumption: I live in Germany and electricity ain’t cheap
2. 2-bay is enough: I have less than 1TB of data anyway
3. (Wishful) TrueNAS/FreeBSD support: I would like to install my OS without breaking the warranty or hacks
4. WebUI not required: it’s a nice to have, but I’m a terminal user anyway

Related: on the synology I use their proprietary CloudSync to backup my google drive and OneDrive. Any FOSS alternative? I only know of rclone.

Ah, lastly, am I stuck with google takeout to backup my Google Photos? Or is there a more unixy way to backup those files?

Thank you 🙏
