Synology reverses policy banning third-party HDDs after sales allegedly plummet

Source: Hacker News

Article note: As much as I like the Synology appliances I've worked with, I was really puzzled by this, the whole proposition of Synology is being an optimized (on price-via-economy-of-scale and polish) alternative to DIYing a Linux NAS with a PC or ARM SBC for the moderately-technical sub-enterprise storage market. Their software has been getting a little worse (and increasingly ancient, I don't know what out-of-tree patches they make, but recent DSM versions are running like decade-old kernels), then ...this shit with the vendored hard drives... and they wonder why their market collapsed?
