“third-party HDDs”
In my day we just called these… HDDs. Anytime something so ubiquitous has to be labeled third-party, you know who the bad guy is instantly.
Third party ram, third party motherboard, third party cmos battery…
Some companies make it too easy to choose their competitors.
I really love my Synology NAS (DS220+). I don’t anticipate needing to replace it anytime soon, but given how well it’s treated me, I would almost certainly replace it with a 2024 model instead of a newer one if I had to, given this new limitation.
This decision from them seems short-sighted, I hope they reverse it.
well after hearing this. when I buy a NAS i’ll be going with any brand except synology
Same! I was actually just looking at them. Glad I saw this first
Y’know, I was seriously contemplating a Synology for my first NAS this year.
Was.
Well they’ve been a shit company for awhile. This just seals it for me. Garbage ass product anyways.
Congratulations on the spineless, disgusting piece of shit who imposed this decision. I will look forward to burn my NAS and let them know my opinion, for fucking sure.
The end result of sniffing your own farts too much.
Haha wow what an absolutely HORRIBLE descision, wtf?! So glad I went with QNAP!!
I am very happy with my Terramaster running Truenas Scale.
buying brand name is almost always a bad idea when it comes to computers.
take advantage of their modularity, people. desktops are still popular for a reason.
So glad I’m just using my PC
The enshitification will continue until revenues improve…
Glad I built my own OMV
OMV is great.
Very True, Though im utilizing a virtual machine as my go to NUC has bit the dust.
I had OMV running on an old Llano based system. I upgraded the system to Intel N100. I just put the drive in the new system and it booted with no issue (after network reset)
So, it doesn’t affect existing models, just the new ranges of NAS that will be released soon. And if you own an old one you can use it to format non supported drives and migrate to the newer models.
Pretty shit, but at least it’s not going to majorly affect existing set ups.
I wonder if Synology will realise how bad of a move this is and one day roll it back. This will kill their consumer level market share, do they have enough of an enterprise market for this to make up the difference?
I love my synology router and had considered buying a NAS. That’s a deal breaker for me though. I have a proxmox machine running ubuntu server as a “NAS” right now so I’ll stick with that.
