Another ReadyNAS or something else?

I think ReadyNAS is more a business product and Synology is a home product. Actually many of the packages on the Synology are geared directly and only for business. ERM, CRM, Ticketing system, WebCommerce, Domain and Directory functions-- these have little home function other than as a development for a professional. Not to mention all the web tech (drupal, wordpress, tomcat, apache, java, etc). I was considering Synology BECAUSE I saw more business possibilities. I could probably move my website & blogs to my house and save annual costs. It's clear that Netgear is more the home/enthusiast product. My worry with synology is in the bad reviews I read. Most of them catalog failures that ended with a complete loss of all data--something Netgear has never allowed in 3+ years for me. This is despite two disks faulting in a single unit and a corrupt OS (I believe because the OS partition filled up, a Netgear Oops for certain). The second worry is that many of the severe problems couldn't be handled y U.S. Synology support, and was bumped up to the next tier, available from Taiwan. The time zone difference alone will stretch out any resolution. I don't think I read any review were Taiwan got involved and a positive outcome was reached. So... there may be poor raid resiliency and questionable support. Not a good combo. I can live with questionable support. The resiliency is worrying.
