Getting fed up with external drives and looking to buy a NAS. I’m computer illiterate so bare with my misunderstandings

Seem complaints about ransomware attacks on QNAP. I’m not sure how these happen. Do they hack into the QNAP servers and steal user information they use to hack into the NAS device in peoples homes? Is this a general problem with commercial NAS services/products?

The other option would be to build one by myself, with 3D print case or PC case with TrueNAS.

Is TrueNAS easy for the midwit to use, and how good is it compared to synology in terms of data errors and not fucking up the stored data

edit: just come to think of it, maybe I should opt for Windows based NAS and use some old hardware. I read a comment about windows having “poor data parity features”, but isn’t there any raid software I could use on windows with good parity features?
