Synology is closing the gap on third-party hard drive support further in 2025
Over the last few years, Synology have not been exact about being forward in supporting.
Back in 2021, we started to see the brand reduce the number of third-party hard drives and SSDs on their systems.
This diminishing support has manifested itself in two main ways.
The first is that drives that are listed on the official support and compatibility pages have significantly reduced, favoring the utilization of their own growing range of hard drives and SSD media.
The second way this has presented itself drew significant criticism in 2022/2023 (https://nascompares.com/2022/02/17/synology-nas-and-hard-drive-compatibility-in-2022-should-i-be-worried/), when utilizing third-party hardware resulted in the system presenting warning messages and even service limitations being suggested.
It appears that this is something they are putting into force for their new 2025 series of devices.
Numerous websites in Germany have today reported that Synology plans to go full first-party drive priority on all systems released from the 2025 generation and onwards.
An official statement from Synology via an official source has not been released, but it appears that the brand is going to go hard on pushing their own drives when using their own systems – at least at launch.
So, what are the intended limitations for those who want to use non-Synology branded drives from Seagate and Western Digital?
And why would Synology do this with their systems that have been open for over 25 years?
Let’s discuss.
