Synology plans to require the use of its own hard drives, or certified third-party drives, for accessing advanced features on its Plus series NAS devices starting with its 2025 lineup.
The company aims to expand its integrated ecosystem and maximize security, performance, and support for users utilizing the proprietary hard drive solution.
Synology sees potential benefits in providing certified drives, offering efficient support, and ensuring the full range of functions.
Further details are awaited from Synology's US offices regarding this strategy.
