Interesting watch. I'm now even more convinced that my next NAS will be something else than a Synology. Kind of sad, remember my first Synology was a DS412+ I think, was it DSM 4 at the time. Great times back then, when they actually cared about their homeusers.

Seagate & WD (And others) have worked fine for years - In 4 different NAS’s: since late V4 DSM. With Synology’s backing, Here!!

Have also seen same MFG’s work fine in multiple (10 or probably more) MFG’s devices using multiple or ganged drives for high bandwidth use, in Broadcast environment, where down time is $$$$$$ - for maybe 20 years or more years.
In all that time: I’ve seen MFG’s ‘suggest certain model drives with identical firmware”, but only 1 mfg Demand drives…. That happens Also to be THEIR ‘re-manufactured’ drives. Synology. And they don’t do Broadcast!!!
Until you do Broadcast, and are recognized as a reliable Broadcast MFG, you simply don’t have the credibility to do a 180 degree turn on drives, and be considered reliable!

Synology media is 2nd rate relabeled money grab.
