What kind of fresh bullshit is this? I am not impacted since I built my own NAS but still.

Archive: https://archive.today/u7RlL

From the post:

>Synology's new Plus Series NAS systems, designed for small and medium enterprises and advanced home users, can no longer use non-Synology or non-certified hard drives and get the full feature set of their device. Instead, Synology customers will have to use the company's self-branded hard drives. While you can still use non-supported drives for storage, Hardwareluxx [machine translated] reports that you’ll lose several critical functions, including estimated hard drive health reports, volume-wide deduplication, lifespan analyses, and automatic firmware updates. The company also restricts storage pools and provides limited or zero support for third-party drives.

I have a Synology server, but might not be affected unless they do an update and push this down my throat. If they do, I will immediately move to get a different home server.

I use TruenasScale with my own hardware. It works well. Lots of "apps" that you can run on it as well as running VM's directly on the system.

I have been running some version of TrueNAS for like a decade or maybe more. It's always worked well for me.

Thank you, I'm saving this in several places so that I can actually find it when needed.
