looking at a 4bay NAS
only has 2gb of RAM
are these things shit? I could build a better NAS for about the same price
Ryzen 3 with 4 HDDs and 16GB of RAM

Yes. Closed bootloader, updates can be stopped at any moment, weak hardware. The only thing they have is software working out of the box.

You're better off building your own around one of those new $50 Athlons with integrated GPU. It will probably beat any Pentium or Celeron and is $50 cheaper than a Ryzen 3.

but faster CPU is better for SMB tho.
cue the graphs my fellow autists!

your missing the point, horses for courses. They are designed to be (somewhatt..) quiet, simple (tho they keep adding more crap) small footprint and low power usage, etc.
For what you are actually doing with a Synology, or most any other NAS, 2GB or *Gb wont make a fuck of difference, you wont even use the extra, never mind max it out.
If you were doing heavy duty video, transcoding, multiple simultaneous destinations, build something else, or if you want a VM server, buid a fucking server. But a NAS is a glorified external drive box, pimiping the fuck out of it with go faster stripes n shit wont actually make it any faster.
