Also not OP, but another yes to Synology - I have also found them to be worth it. I've been running mine (DS1517+) for 5.5 years continuously now.

I wirelessly back up my Macs and then use Backblaze B2 for offsite backups of that. I've found by combining this with the snapshot features of btrfs that this has been reliable.

My Synology is wired to my home cat 6, and the only thing stopping me from getting 10GbE to the devices that need it most is the stubbornly high prices of 10GBASE-T switches (I keep hearing it has something to do with heat (?)).

If you choose to mirror your drives, you can achieve some really good read speeds, which is nice.
