You shouldn’t have to do this though and I won’t buy another Synology if this is how they treat buyers.

    Mh, I'm not sure. This is only the case for enterprise versions and it kind of makes sense that you want to strongly encourage people to use verified drives in their buisness solutions.

    They are rolling it out on consumer systems now.

    You mean the medium enterprise tier of their line up ?
    Yes consumers can buy them, but the real market for this will indubitably buy whatever is recommended hardware anyway.
    I see this as a nothing burger. If they ever change this for the real consumer hw maybe we can cry, but until then...

    Edit: I knew posting this would drown in down votes. Lemmy is as dumb as reddit and will follow whatever bandwagon they see.
    Come argue if you think I'm wrong, instead of surfing on sensationalism and down voting blindly.
