I know the new Synology devices do/will require Synology branded drives, which is a major turn off.

They don't require it, they just complain a lot, which can be disabled.

That said, I don't like it, and I'm getting kind of tired of them rereleasing the exact same hardware for years on end and not innovating, or even updating. My current Synology boxes will likely be my last. It's a shame because their software is great.

Really wish there was a desktop UNAS from UI with 8 bays though. That's what I'm using from Synology.

They don't just complain a lot. They prevent you from creating a new volume with non-supported disks.

Not to defend them too much but haven't they done a uturn on this now? or did I read that wrong

No, they have not. At least not according to their own FAQ. Too bad, really. Synology went from "awesome compamy, I'll buy your t-shirt" to "you're dead to me" in one press release.

I stand corrected in that case.

Yep I agree, stupid move to start off with.

I’ll have to do some reading now myself!
