And that hack seems temporary. permalink fedilink source parent [+] remon@ani.social -18 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Yup, been using that from the start, since none of the 20TB drives were "verified" when I bought them. It's a bit annoying that you have to do that, but ultimately a non-issue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LiPoly@lemmynsfw.com 57 points 1 year ago (2 children) A non-issue??? That is absolutely an issue, because 90% of consumers won’t know about this fix. It’s outrageous that a consumer facing brand introduces such arbitrary vendor lock-ins, especially without reason. It’s just like HP with their ink lock. An absolute dick move and should not be supported in the slightest. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NameTaken@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Not to say I'm not annoyed and they definitely should not be doing this except for their enterprise line. Would I buy another Synology again, no definitely not. However most "consumers" buying a NAS are already pretty tech savvy. When this issue happened to me I googled it and found and applied the script in 15 or so minutes. Run the script essentially once a year or so when major updates come along. Hasn't been a huge issue. The issue will be if /when they block this script or other fixes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] remon@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago Run the script essentially once a year or so when major updates come along. I've set it up in the task sheduler as a "on boot-up" task. Have never bothered with it through multiple updates. permalink fedilink source parent [+] remon@ani.social -17 points 1 year ago Yep. It's not like unverified drives won't work, they'll just show an orange warning symbol and disable some minor features. permalink fedilink source parent
