Synology, network -connected storage (NAS) device maker, will apparently remove advanced features from its plus devices that are not supplied by its 2025 lineup through hard drives, or certified, by self -scientific.
A Report on the German site Hardorelix X (Translated by Google) and A press release Synology confirms the Synology strategy on the German language website. The company, which looks at the “key benefits” of its “proprietary hard drive solution” (even according to Google translation), will be extended [its] Integrated ecosystem in the Plus series. “For them Plus series model Released in 2025, only Synology will offer its hard drives, and certified third -party drives, “full range of functions and help” through Synology. The release of Synology states that it can provide the highest levels of security and performance, while offering significantly more efficient help. “
The ARS has contacted the US offices of Synology for comments and will update this post with any reaction.
It is likely that the move can be restricted to Germany or to the European Union only. If not effective, it is possible to maintain the region’s firmware. Synology has previously eliminated its certified drive requirements for high -end machines globally.
If you already have a plus level or more synology hardware, this possible change will not affect you, at least to your next upgrade. You can also take current drives from the synology setup and move them to 2025 or to the new pulse model and get full support. Synology has already implemented this requirement for its XS Plus and Rick Mounting models, which these owners believe to use by synology.
The use of non -snowyology -approved hard drives can include pool creation and support for any problem you can lose. The Synology Press Release shows that D -diplomacy, life analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates may also disappear on unapproved drives.
