Synology to require self-branded drives with upcoming NAS systems
Citiraj:
Synology has confirmed that their new Plus series NAS systems will soon place restrictions on users of non-Synology HDDs. This news was first spotted by HardwareLuxx, following Synology’s announcement on their German website. Users of 3rd party hard drives will face restrictions, limiting the usability of their NAS products. Synology claims that this move will grant users higher levels of “security, reliability, and performance.” Another way of putting it is that the company wants to profit from HDD sales by forcing its users to purchase drives from them. Note that Synology is not an HDD producer. Their drives are rebranded drives from other vendors.
Synology’s 2024 and older NAS systems (excluding their XS Plus series and rack models) will be unaffected by this change. Furthermore, 3rd party drives from Synology’s existing NAS solutions can be migrated and used on their newer NAS systems without issue. Users of 3rd party drives on Synology’s new 2025 Plus series NAS models will face restrictions. They will lose features like pool creation and support for issues and failures caused by incompatible storage media. Volume-wide deduplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic hard drive firmware updates will only be available for the company’s branded hard drives.
