Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet

Synology has backtracked on one of its most unpopular decisions in years. After seeing NAS sales plummet in 2025, the company has decided to lift restrictions that forced users to buy its own Synology hard drives.

Nice to see a tech company actually getting punished for their anti-consumer policies.

I first heard about this update from Cory Doctorow’s newsletter: https://pluralistic.net/2025/10/10/synology/#how-about-nah
