Synology's 2025 NAS Strategy: A Shift Towards Proprietary Hard Drives
In a bold move, Synology plans to restrict advanced features of its Plus NAS devices to only certified hard drives starting in 2025. This strategy aims to enhance security and support but raises conce...

Synology to Restrict Its New NAS Devices to Using Synology-Branded Drives https://petapixel.com/2025/04/18/synology-to-restrict-its-new-nas-devices-to-using-synology-branded-drives/ #Technology #Equipment #harddrive #synology #workflow #storage #drive #News #nas
OK my servers have all been down the last couple of days so I guess I'll have to catch up around here. But some things are temporarily back up. I moved my reverse proxy to run on my home assistant box and put back up a server that was going to get phased out to get some of the stuff I rely on back up. My server hardware upgrades didn't go exactly as I planned due to some hardware incompatibilities and I'm now paused until I can get replacements. This is not going how I planned, but it is going about how I expected. Being in recovery has also made this more difficult as I can't lift my computers and I tire out pretty quick.

Blocked IP (in Network Center) still reaches Threat Prevention

[Перевод] (Почти) идеальный мини-NAS для мини-стойки
Мини-ПК GMKtec G9 N150 с четырьмя отсеками NVMe стоит 240 долларов — практически идеальное NAS-устройство для домашней мини-стойки. Он оснащен четырехядерным процессором Intel N150 с интегрированной графикой Intel UHD среднего уровня, 12 ГБ оперативной памяти LPDDR5, двумя портами Ethernet 2,5 Гбит/с, WiFi 6 и, что самое приятное, четырьмя встроенными слотами M.2 NVMe. Казалось бы, что не так?
I’m thinking of setting up a https://perfectmediaserver.com/ but with https://projectucore.io/ as a base. Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with running a ucore server?

point of order this is on dedicated battery backup and can run uninterrupted with all accoutrement for about 2 hours, i think it's only lost power once. that rack has lost it entirely only twice. the first time was how i found out that apparently Cyberpower has had some SKUs that over the years betray you in the '10s. the networking and hypervisor were on the bottom rack UPS-backed power. networked UPS status is possible, too.
I guess I’ll be one-and-done with Synology. I’ve got plenty of time but whenever I need to move on from the DS420+ I’ll probably build my own. When I got the Synology I was trying to care for my future self and limit the scope of my self-hosting, but I guess I’ll have take it on eventually. #SelfHosting #Synology #NAS

#Synology upcoming Plus Series #NAS #storage #systems will restrict full functionality to users who install the company's self-branded hard drives. While third-party drives will still work for basic storage, critical features including drive health monitoring, volume-wide deduplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic firmware updates will be disabled https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/nas/synology-requires-self-branded-drives-for-some-consumer-nas-systems-drops-full-functionality-and-support-for-third-party-hdds
@inkvisible I've been looking at #uGreen #NAS options. Any known issues with them?
Protip: fix the #hdd 3.3v pin problem before you mount your drives that need 8 screws a piece to get out :)

node.js.v22 for DS214play

Voilà voilà. Il est temps de dire adieu à #Synology ...
J'ai commencé ma migration matérielle et logicielle il y a bientôt 2 ans pour un #NAS diy et je ne le regrette pas.
#Proxmox, #TrueNAS, #Nextcloud ... tout cela offre tellement plus de diversités et de possibilités dans des univers moins contraints ! (Moins user friendly ok ... mais le friendly à une forte tendance à rimer avec captivity ces derniers temps ! )
"Synology espère rendre ses propres disques durs obligatoires dans ses nouveaux NAS"
Synology decideix amb una actualització que a partir d'ara no tots els discs durs seran compatibles amb els seus NAS, havent de passar per caixa amb models específics (més cars òbviament).
Quin tret al peu...

各大硬盘厂商为了卖所谓的“NAS专用盘”真是连脸都不要了，还有群晖也是，跟谁学不好，跟Apple学MFI认证是吧？不用西数红盘和希捷酷狼就不配用S.M.A.R.T和VDO功能？
恐怕就跟各大专有软件和专有互联网服务企业作妖，从而助力自由软件发展一样，群晖的所作所为完全是搬起石头砸自己的脚。

Ich habe da mal etwas für #FragDasFediverse.
Da meine #Synology DS710+ inzwischen auch schon 12 Jahre oder mehr auf dem Buckel hat, mache ich mir langsam Gedanken über eine mögliche Nachfolge. Ich nutze mein #NAS hauptsächlich für Urlaubsvideos und Urlaubsfotos.
Dabei überlege ich mir, ob ich mir wieder eine Synology hole oder u. U. ein #Qnap Gerät. Die Frage ist nur, ob ein Qnap wesentliche Vorteile gegenüber einer Synology mitbringt oder ober dass Jacke wie Hose ist?
Ebenso schwirren mir Gedanken über ein Selbstbau-NAS im Kopf herum. Es gibt da ja #TrueNAS und #Openmediavault. Welche Vor- bzw. Nachteile haben die beiden genannten Lösungen gegenüber? Gibt es noch andere Softwarelösungen? Wäre für so etwas ein #RaspberryPi bzgl. Leistung ausreichend?
Was mir noch wichtig wäre, dass man mit diesem NAS auch so etwas wie #SabNZBD, #Nextcloud o. ä. installieren und nutzen kann. Ob dies dann über #Docker oder einer anderen Lösung genutzt wird, ist mir jetzt erst einmal egal.
Was ist mir noch wichtig:
- Der Stromverbrauch sollte sich in Grenzen halten
- Die Installation und Wartung sollte keine 87 Semester IT-Studium benötigen
- Was spricht für eine Selbstbau-Lösung, was dagegen?
- Habe ich bei meinen Überlegungen etwas übersehen?
