Frequently asked questions
We understand that choosing which NAS can be hard. Here are some questions and answers which can help you understand further between the two ecosystems.
Synology DSM is a proprietary operating system designed for ease of use, stability, and integration within Synology’s hardware ecosystem.
Nanas StorageCube runs TrueNAS, an open-source operating system that emphasizes flexibility, performance, and hardware independence.
In short, DSM focuses on simplicity and ease-of-use, while TrueNAS focuses on control and customisation.
Choose Synology NAS if you:
- Prefer a plug-and-play setup that “just works.”
- Easy to use and low learning curve.
- Want minimal configuration or maintenance.
- Need guaranteed reliability. Setup once and forget it.
Choose Nanas NAS if you:
- Have some IT or technical experience in-house.
- Intend to host many server applications (e.g., containers, ERP, VMs, NVR, or web hosting).
- Need higher hardware specification to run your resource intensive server applications.
- Prefer open-source software and standard PC hardware for flexibility and upgradability.
- Want to start learning more about server protocols.
Yes, TrueNAS has a steeper learning curve because it offers more control and customisation options.
Once set up, it’s highly reliable but it requires users to be comfortable managing system updates, permissions, and containers or VM configurations.
Synology DSM, on the other hand, hides most of that complexity behind an easy web interface.
Many common applications overlap, such as:
- File sync and backups
- Media servers (e.g., Plex)
- Surveillance systems
- Cloud and collaboration tools
However, Synology apps are tightly integrated within DSM (Synology Drive, Photos, Office), while Nanas uses open-source equivalents (Nextcloud, Immich, Collabora, etc.) that you can install and configure through Docker or directly on TrueNAS.
Synology apps offer a centralised login system, meaning one user account can access multiple Synology applications seamlessly. In contrast, apps installed on TrueNAS generally require separate login credentials for each application.
While it’s technically possible to integrate these logins through tools like LDAP or single sign-on (SSO) configurations, doing so adds complexity and may not be practical for users who prefer a simpler setup.
Nanas NAS typically use newer, more powerful hardware (DDR5 memory, modern CPUs) at similar or lower cost compared to equivalent Synology models. That gives TrueNAS an edge in raw performance and expandability.
Synology NAS, however, are optimised end-to-end — offering consistent performance with less manual tuning.
Yes. Both DSM and TrueNAS support rsync, SMB, and NFS protocols, allowing cross-platform backup or synchronisation.
You can use Synology Hyper Backup or TrueNAS replication tasks to create offsite backups between the two systems.
Nanas NAS can be served as a backup destination target for Synology Hyper Backup.
Yes. Synology’s QuickConnect service allows remote access without complex configuration.
TrueNAS can also be accessed remotely but typically requires a VPN setup or third-party relay service, offering more control but needing a bit more setup effort.
Synology pushes automatic, verified updates to DSM, ensuring smooth upgrades with minimal user action.
TrueNAS updates are manual and user-driven, giving you control over when and how to update, which is ideal for users who want to test updates before deployment.
Yes. Both systems support Docker containers and virtual machines.
However, running containers or VMs can be resource-intensive, especially when hosting multiple services simultaneously.
If using containers or virtual machines is your primary goal, you may want to consider a higher-performance system like Nanas NAS, which offers more powerful hardware and greater flexibility for these workloads.
Synology: Uses proprietary hardware and DSM; only Synology devices can run DSM legally.
Nanas: Built from standard PC components. All parts are replaceable and compatible with open-source TrueNAS, ensuring no lock-in and easier long-term upgrades.
If your business values uptime, simplicity, and official support, Synology is the safer choice.
If your business has in-house IT skills or prefers customised performance and flexibility, Nanas NAS provides better hardware scalability and integration freedom.
That’s completely fine — both options are available from us.
We recommend:
- Synology for offices and teams that want a reliable, maintenance-free NAS.
- Nanas for power users, homelabbers, and small businesses who like having full control.
Our team can help assess your use case and recommend the most suitable model.
