Synology has backtracked on one of its most unpopular decisions in years. After seeing NAS sales plummet in 2025, the company has decided to lift restrictions that forced users to buy its own Synology hard drives.
The HDD restriction was the nudge I needed to finally build my own NAS on Unraid. No regrets, and my DS923+ sold on eBay for nearly the same amount of money I paid for it 18 months ago.
