Network-attached storage (NAS) recommendations

I have an office where we want to setup a fileshare on a NAS storage box. I've read the reviews on a major website (you know)... and there are a lot of complaints about how they are not true NAS, or start getting slow, or downright don't work, or some other complaint.

Can someone recommend a good NAS unit please? Looking for several terrabytes.

Thanks!

I'm looking at these units on Amazon. For example, there are several Synology options.

Any specific recommendations on models? I looked at some 1 star reviews on a Synology and it said it couldn't be setup over the network, and he had to install an operating system on it, and it was awful.

So any specific suggestions? I need to be able to access it from multiple computers over the network in the shop, and over the internet from home.

Thanks!

Thanks Rindi.

Everyone: I am looking at this model on Amazon. It has a 5 star review with 5,337 ratings.

I'll ask specific questions about this model there.
