Read more about Synology's overpriced SNV5400 series SSDs.
I'd assume these would have some added enterprise features like PLP and higher endurance with at least 1 DWPD for the rated life, but that's still overpriced. I had switched from buying QNAP a number of years back and had settled on Synology, but that's probably going to change again. Offering this as optional is a great idea IMO, but forcing it is something else entirely.
Imagine getting one of these units after they are EOL for a homelab, but not being able to swap the drives unless you want to shell out for way overpriced gear. You'd be better off buying another NAS at full price and using whatever drives you want. Then this perfectly workable, but EOL device ends up as e-waste.

This is precisely why I'm slowly building my own NAS and not getting an off the shelf one.

They'll reverse this once people stop buying their garbage.

Synology was easily the best off the shelf device for semi tech savvy users. They had great software. That's slowly been less true as they take away software suites and support. They've always been behind on hardware specs
With these latest changes I hope they lose everything. F this company really. Shameful.
They won't. They don't care. It's cheaper for them to stop supporting every device available and they are focusing more on businesses. Unfortunately for them there are far superior options to the business market. No idea what they are thinking.
My next NAS definitely won't be Synology. Probably TrueNAS or something similar.

TBH I wish I never bought my 415+ it's killed 4 drives and had to be fixed as it had an issue that made it useless, and they knew about it and never issued a recall just silently extended the warranty a bit, I'll never buy or recommend Synology to anyone!

Sorry to hear that. I haven't heard of many people who have had issues tbh.

Look up Synology 100ohm resistor fix and you'll find heaps of horror stories, it's crazy mostly around the models like mine that were running Atom chips.
