Synology stops punching themselves in the balls, but the damage is done methinks. I've already been researching UnRAID and TrueNAS and probably won't go back next time despite being a Synology user for 15 years https://www.guru3d.com/story/synology-reverses-policy-banning-thirdparty-hdds-after-nas-sales-plummet/
Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet

Synology has backtracked on one of its most unpopular decisions in years. After seeing NAS sales plummet in 2025, the company has decided to lift restrictions that forced users to buy its own Synology hard drives.

@sinbad Why would anyone want to buy a NAS that restricts drives?! Yeah that's Synology just deriding their own business.

Especially when there are open options and a massively wide availability of hardware that can be converted to a NAS. These aren't printers.

Boggles my mind.
