I personally own a DS1019+ which is used as my production NAS and use Xpenology for testing purposes only.

Xpenology has a great developer community, but there is no true “support”, and no guarantee that this operating system will be stable. It is suggested that you use this for testing purposes or you backup your important files regularly (which should be done regardless).
