I purchased a used like new DS925+ w/ extra 30% off coupon the day after they announced the change. I can confirm operation (with no warnings) with random WD and Seagate HDDs I had laying around at the time. However, this did require updating the Diskstation Software to (re)gain native compatibility.
Also, apparently there has been a simple storage DB update script that (re)added support for non-Synology branded drives when the 3rd party HDD policy (compatibility ban) was in effectā¦ but this should have never been required.
Given the early experience with the DS925+, I purchased a DS1525+ and 10GB NIC from B&H around BF. (I needed the extra bandwidth.)
I also purchased two OWC 64GB (32Gb x 2) DDR4 ECC SO-DIMMS kits. All 64GB was detected in each and both systems booted, but neither could consistently pass the build in MemTest. All 4 dimms passed individual memory tests in any of the 4 memory slots but no two pairs (64GB) would pass consistently. We were not able to determine if this was a memtest / Diskstation software limitation or a deeper hardware compatibility issue.
However Synology does not sell a kit over 32GB for these units and does NOT advertise 64GB compatibility. I ended up returning one of the 64GB kits just before the end of the return period. I kept the other and split for a 32gb dimm in each unit. (These kits along with most ECC Ram more than doubled in the ~3 week period while I was troubleshootingā¦ so there was no way i was going to return both kits.)
No other problems so far out of either the DS925+ or the DS1525+.

I bought one of these 925+ a month ago to finally replace my 212j. No these do not require Synology branded drives. They have backtracked on that. It does still tell you drive are not in compatibility list but it doesn't cripple any functions because of that. Unfortunately disk prices are currently a bit high as a side effect to the crazy memory prices, but spindle disks aren't really used in AI datacenters. So expect the prices to come back down soon.
This is a great deal for what you get. And based on how reliable my old 212J was I would not think twice getting another Synology. Made in Taiwan > Made in China any day.

Seriously NAS users are often times tech savvy I don't know what makes them think they can pull off shenanigans like this.

I switched to UGREEN and honestly it was the best decision I've made. I had two DS1520+ units with ten 22TB drives ā sold everything and started fresh. No regrets at all.
I double your old gaming PC has this form factor, and space constraints is a real thing. Also power usage, these dedicated NAS units sip power compared to your gaming tower.
I'm not telling people to NEVER buy Synology. If you have done the research and are comfortable with the current and possible future limitations they impose, then by all means. Like I said, I still have a functional NAS from them that is over a decade old, so they can make good stuff. However, the direction they are moving as a company is not aligned with what my customers or I look for in a pre-built NAS and there is more competition in that market than ever before, so I do recommend caution and thorough (e.g. more than SD threads) research before handing them any of your money.
Not a fair comparison anyways. This thing is running 4 spinning HDDs at once, compared to a regular PC that probably has one single SSD.
