Isn't synology running it hybridized with their own proprietary storage layer?

It's not proprietary, you can hook up the drives to a linux box and pull files off them just fine if your box dies. I've never had to do this, but I've seen others say they've done so successfully.

I believe it's a layer of mdadm and lvm rather than anything proprietary.
