I use ReadyNAS, and have for at least 20 years. I own 5 ReadyNAS devices 
and count on them for everything.

ReadyNAS is part of Netgear, which is doing fine. But they are planning 
to close down the product line. I have therefore done a lot of studying 
of the marketplace. I think that the best bet for me to migrate to is 
Synology. It might well be the best bet for you to migrate to.
