In 2025 RAID does not work. It will not protect you from errors. it's all a mirage. The only sane option these days is ZFS.
I've got ZFS on my older NAS which is a FreeNAS box I build myself a while back (an old HP N40L), the Synology one is using BTRFS (only because it doesn't support ZFS). That being said, I'm well aware of bitrot, the RAID is to protect against a drive dying, and the vast majority of stuff on the NAS is stuff where a flipped bit isn't going to be the end of the world even if the file system doesn't catch it. For stuff that's more important I keep multiple copies of it or and/or have a backup in the cloud.
