@inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic another formerly good corporation commits suicide by enshitfication.

RIP Synology. The model I have already has some limitations on non-branded SSDs and I was mad when I found out about that.

@retrovg @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic I'd like to know any details around that since I'm literally 2 hours away from picking up a 2-bay DS723+ and planning to populate it with drives I'm "shucking" from Seagate backup externals.

@soviut @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic same case as my device, it has two NVMe ports which it can only use to create another set of volumes if they are Synology-branded. With other brands, they can only be used as a cache for the volumes on HDDs.

@retrovg @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic Synology By "synology branded" I'm guessing you mean "synology approved"?

I'm just worried these drives I'm pulling from the backup enclosers aren't going to work for some reason.

@soviut @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic all HDDs will work so that's not a problem.

The NVMes (which are full optional) only allow storing data on their own branded sticks, or caching on any brand.

@retrovg @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic Okay, thanks for the clarification. I didn't even know Synology had their own NVMe storage.

@retrovg @inkvisible @kevinpurdy @pluralistic They already do this with their XS series models, although the main practical limitation is just some warning messages. You can add non-Synology drives to the compatibility list to get rid of the warnings by running this script:
