Too little, too late. Already migrated away. They lost my trust.

Let's wait and see!

They also might backpedal on their branded-drives again....so I wouldn't trust a thing they do. Remember, all they have to do is push an update that requires any existing NAS to use their branded drives. They had language in their original press release saying they WEREN'T going to do that...which means they were REALLY thinking about doing it, but wanted to let you know they weren't as a BIG FAVOR to their customers.

They even told me that in an email I sent them. I replied (unanswered by them), you know what else I can do? Get a 20lb sledge from a home improvement store, and make a video about me eliminating Synolgy products from my home IF you did decide to force all drive replacements on existing systems to be Synology. Office Space it.

Every DSM update I read closely, just to see if they say "you can keep using your existing drives, but when you need to replace one, it better be Synology." Just waiting for the rug pull. Zero trust.
