Synology has announced that its 2025 DiskStation Plus, Value, and J-series NAS devices will support non-validated third-party drives starting with DSM 7.3. This change reverses a policy that required expensive Synology-branded drives for enhanced reliability. The decision follows user feedback amid growing competition in the NAS market.
