a workaround has been found, use an older synology server to prep the harddrive then put it in the newer case, it will recognize it as a proper "synology "hdd and give you all the features.
A yes proprietary software and hardware locking you out of being able to do whatever you want with a product you own. Sounds like another company with the logo of a certain fruit.
I have an old computer i don’t usually use anymore and it has over a terabyte of storage space left, so i used an app called Tailscale to share drives over network when the pc is running. As the cherry on top, i decided to add the dvd drive as a shared drive so it should be possible to watch movies when you’re a mile away but the latency isn’t the greatest. Im also surprised that it works between different operating systems. 3rd party apps can get the job done. Now that’s called a homemade NAS.
Home grown for those up to the challenge. Bought an old Lenovo Xeon P520 and used HDDs a year ago; TrueNas Scale and no problems at all except with my learning curve for TrueNas! 😂
I actually have a big question, i normally record a lot of videos in my main gaming pc and the videos can be up to 200gb even thought i can edit those on it i havea macbook pro that can edit even faster while i keep gaming on the desktop since vr games and heavy ones can be hard while using davinci, my big question is: is there any HDD or SSD enclosures or docks that can be active on the same disk? For example it can download to a 20tb HDD and after that i can just edit it without passing files soo both have acess to the same disk at the same time? I really can find any solutions and passing a 200 gb video can take a while since the best i got is a external ssd that can at max transfer 300 mb/s pls help me on this Zach ;-;
I really don’t see much difference between installing a bunch of hd’s in your pc, and sharing the drives with the rest of your network, and a server. Sounds like they are doing the exact same thing, but you have to spend a lot more money for it. Just never made any sense to me.
HP took over synology I see.
How ro make a good server in 2 simple steps:
– take a PC
– use it as a server
I read the article and it says ONLY for the NASes from 2025 onwards… All the NASes from 2024 inward will remain the same.
And now we witness the steep drop in new synology system sales
Sounds like a pain in the NAS.
Should i buy a 3070 ti at 340€ for 1440p gaming?
Just saying that was all a joke they came out and said it was a joke
This is a straight up Apple move
I decided to go with TrueNAS SCALE. It is very much vendor-agnostic, so none of this Synology bit of bullshit I could just as done without it.
The only other machine I have only has one "fancy-shmancy" setup only in the form of ECC ram via an Xeon-based setup. Worth it!
YouTube unlimited storage glitch to the rescue
They couldn’t fully support some hardware they didn’t produce is a legit reason.
Next is going to be subscriptions. No thanks

Now winrar is the only goated company as of now😭😭

UNAS from Ubiquiti is also quite good if you want an alternative
The move they made makes me think they have someone that is trimming down their internal testing/compatibility department and this is the result
Shame 🔔 Shame 🔔 Shame 🔔
Talk about ugreen’s nas lineup
If this is their policy, they will never have my business ever. again, or any of my customers.
The real people out of luck are those that really buy instead of building 😂
Dam they pulling an HP
i stand with Linus in saying "Fuck synology"
Boo shame
Ah, I need to get a NAS for create one.
Just took Synology off the list.
I have that same battery backup. It’s hit or miss whether or not it fails over correctly, but the battery holds a charge 😂
Hp would be laughing
If I buy a Snology can I install Windows on it?

Another proprietary bs
Look at Zima OS
Just use an old PC with proxmox setup!! 🙂
That’s scummy and ill avoid using them because of this very reason.
Bye, Synology !

I’ve also used Asustor without incident.
Synology has gone 100% 💲bonkers💲.
Ugreen is also an Option
How to create a monopoly? More like how to use customers.
I’ve got a decade old Netgear NAS that’s still chugging along
Lost my business.
You can buy old TiVos from pawn shops for like literally $5. Take the drives out and make your own ghetto NAS.
Correct me if my information is outdated or wrong. But from what I know you can’t put any HDD in a NAS and be 100% sure it will work.
You can be sure if your HDDs are on the support list. Otherwise, you can only hope.
so don’t get a synology nas and learn linux command line on your own. got it.
As customers, we need to be INTOLERANT to these types of moves from companies. We know where it all ends up. We need to be puritanical.
ZTT WE NEED A HOME SERVER BUILD VIDEO😮

No wish to get familiar with linux? Want to plug&play? Don’t complain on greediness of "big techs".
Man, first Carter, now Zack? Someone stop KevinDurantFitnessOfficial 😭
The best thing is, they dont even make drives. They buy from WD and others and then just rebrand them
