To be blunt, both Netgear and Synology have similar (not too bad) reputations for home / prosumer NAS gear. This event isn't going to be helping Netgear though.

My preference is FreeNAS as they're based on tech I like, I'm comfortable choosing my own hardware + building my own systems. And they accept Pull Requests on GitHub. eg to support more hardware, add more features, etc.

But, horses for courses, etc. :)
