The DIY types already prefer to manufacture their own desktops, laptops, keyboards, etc., so it is no surprise that they prefer to collect network-sighted storage out of uneven parts. But trying that you can see you out of some advanced features on the latest synology nas hardware. Moving forward, Synology is emphasizing that users stick with their price, self-branded hard drives for maximum feature support.
The German site Hardwarlxx reports that Sinology Plus NAS Hardware released in 2025 will not have full support for a third party drive. Although they will still do Work If you install them, only the hard drives of syntology-or certified by synology-will get access to the most advanced features, including hard drive health reports, volume-wide Diduplications, lifestyle analysis and automatic firmware updates. Third-party drives that are not synchronous-innovative will get warnings in the user interface.
Synology has already met this requirement for enterprise-grade networked storage devices, but now the same standard is being applied to the new consumer and the prose model to be released in the future. The company claims that it requires an additional layer of hardware tests to give the best performance and reliability.
Of course, as Tom’s hardware notes, Synology does not actually build its own hard drive. Critics and enthusiasts have determined that the Sinology-branded drives being sold since 2021 are created by Toshiba and Seigate, two of the largest hard drive manufacturers on the planet, which are only rivals by Western Digital. Synology may have a more rigorous test for the drive affecting your brand name on higher standard and stickers … but it is difficult to forget that it is actually just a sticker, especially if Synology is going to have a sticker about it.
Sinology devices created in 2024 and will not be affected by this change earlier. Those who like to load on cheap hard drives for their nases, they want to pay full attention to it, or possibly check offerings from competitions such as Asustor or Terramaster.
