Exec summary for those who think their time is not worth this evil madness:
The only change is that they now allow you to use any 2.5" SATA SSD. Everything else, meaning: 2.5" SATA HDDs (the by far most common thing you would want to use) and NVME SSDs: Still a no-no.
No, there was no lesson learned here by them at all.
The liked article specifically is wrong here:
"Third-party hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs"
No, not hard drives. 2.5" SSDs only.
Very sorry to spoil the party, but sadly Synology STILL hasn't learned the lesson. :(
Let's check again after they have lost 95% of their customers...
- avianlyric 1y agoWhat are you talking about. This is a quote directly from the page you’ve linked to: > At the same time, with the introduction of DSM 7.3, 2025 DiskStation Plus series models offer more flexibility for installing third-party HDDs and 2.5" SATA SSDs when creating storage pools.
- Fischgericht 1y agoI do not know if we are getting served different content for the same URL. Content I can see, with server-side timestamp of 2 seconds ago: Hard disk drives (HDD) & M.2 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) Series: FS, HD, SA, UC, XS+, XS, Plus, DVA/NVR, and DP Only drives listed in the compatibility list are supported.

- Fischgericht 1y agoAs German IT news media has retracted the "Synology reverses" story based on the content they are reading in the press release link, I suspect there is some Geo-stuff involved here (I tested this from multiple German IPs now and always get "the other version").
- WmWsjA6B29B4nfk 1y ago> DS Plus series (DSM 7.3): > HDD > Not Listed > Supported for: > New installation and storage pool creation This is the main change. Other series (not Plus) are still locked down.
- vunuxodo 1y agoRegardless, the fact that this is even a question or has ambiguity/uncertainty in any way is enough to get me to never use a Synology NAS.
