Hey Guys, I haven’t seen one, but would love to see a video comparing the ecosystem provided by the main commercial NAS vendors. By ecosystem I mean support for VMs/containers, apps available for things like backup, integration with OneDrive, or other clouds, etc. I know you’ve done some comparisons e.g. between QNAP and Synology, but would like to see a broader one including Synology, QNAP, Asustor, Terramaster, Ugreen and any others you feel appropriate.
