Does Synology support Btrfs?
Btrfs is a modern file system developed by multiple parties and now supported by select Synology NAS models. Btrfs was designed to address obstacles often encountered in enterprise storage systems, such as fault tolerance, management, and data protection.
Is Btrfs better than ext4 Synology?
Some plus for Ext4 But BTRFS has been on Linux stable since 2013. Sure Ext4 has less overhead (no copy on write nor checksum) and is therefore theoretically faster and less resource hungry. So if you are after the most speed for the buck and if your NAS is already doing RAID 5 or more, you could go for Ext4.
Does Synology DS220j support Btrfs?

What is the benefit of Btrfs?
The Btrfs file system introduces a powerful snapshot feature allowing you to create a point-in-time copy of an entire shared folder. That way, if human error results in a lost or corrupt database, you can quickly restore the data back to the previous time at which the snapshot was captured.
Is Btrfs safe to use?
Btrfs is reliable and stable – when you’re running it on a single disk. That’s what tends to the default mode for operating system installs that use Btrfs. I use it on all my single-disk installs to get checksumming, COW, and transparent compression.
Does Synology use ZFS?
Synology is on BTRFS, Qnap has ZFS…. but their software has the worst security record. ( Arguably worst than Western Digital ) And TrueNAS mini isn’t really a consumer NAS at all.
Does QNAP support Btrfs?
