Synology seems to further favor their "own" (re-labeled, Toshiba- and Seagate-produced) drives instead of the numerous other once which still appear in the official HCL like we knew it over the years, starting with the 25-Plus-models.

I've beeen a Synology user for a long time, but their practices have become more and more anti consumer as time has gone on. To go from DSM 6 to DSM 7 I was meant to buy all my security station license again. I downgraded again, it was painful.

Yeah, moves like this have convinced me that when I get another NAS box, it won't be from them. It'll probably built custom instead. After some quick searching, OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS seems like top runners right now. Hopefully it'll be a while before I have to really consider it, though.
