GREAT PRICE
Yesteryear's technology for the price of a complete system
My 2020 PC build has twice the RAM, and it's also faster, yet it cost less - not the memory, the whole machine, with a ryzen 3900x, a graphics card, 1 TB of flash memory.
At this price I can sell half of my current RAM and earn back the purchase price of each entire system
Ahahahaha that's just laughable
The backlash when they only allowed self-branded (overpriced) drives for their systems was so large that universal hard drive compatibility was their main message at it-sa 2025. Huge banners at their stall advertising what you'd imagine is the bare minimum!
I never bought their shit because it was always overpriced. "But their software is so good and easy!" Thanks, I consider myself capable enough to configure a machine myself.
They're sucha company that doesn't understand that for proper enshittification, your users must not have alternatives that they can easily switch to. But there's no proper lockdown effect for a NAS manufacturer: existing customers can just keep using their old systems, and new ones can use competitors / implement the functionality themselves.
But now they have revealed that they're just as greedy as others and will happily squeeze you for some extra cash, without offering any more value. You need to hide the fact that your product gets worse for the money! Get rid of existing plans and make sure new ones have additional features (they don't have to make sense, AI would be a perfect contender if people didn't hate it) that you can use to justify the price hike!
Synology was my gateway to self-hosting. I agree that now, with the knowledge I’ve gained, they are overpriced, but for a “NAS with training wheels” I can’t think of much better for people with the money to spend.
I think there’s a place for Synology and I’d like to imagine with such a resounding amount of feedback, they’re going to avoid the proprietary crap for a while at least. I’m not saying they’re a good company or that they deserve praise for backtracking on a stupid idea, but at least I’m not as reluctant to recommend them as I was.
Trust is hard to earn, but easy to lose - I'd be very careful to trust my data with a company that's willing to play these games.
They've been caught lying before when they introduced the branded drives requirement, but it was too obvious to not see through it. Their backtracking was pure damage control.
Trusting your data with a company that's just waiting for the right opportunity to extract money from you is not something I'd do. I'd consider their devices time bombs and would take measures to not be impacted when they hold your data hostage. I'm not saying this will happen, their made it very obvious that the risk is there.
Yeah they've played their hand. I will never buy from them again, even if they do somehow repent (which is exceedingly unlikely). Once a company gets to a point to where they start monitizing things with no value, they will never turn back.
Their base hardware besides these upgrades also ballooned in price. It's beyond a joke for what paltry hardware you get for your money from Synology now. I can and did buy 3rd party ECC RAM for mine. Works fine besides the singular snotty "how dare you" notification you get on a reboot.
In the past sure I would've said go for it on "last years model" which had steep discounts during holiday seasons, but they went to shit even before the AI plague.
'universal HDD compatibility' means all their devices can handle SAS drives, right? Right??
well yeah, with that $100 add-in card
That looks like Alza
Because it is.
