Also, funny to see Ben Bailey outside of a taxi cab.
I saw another newer post that was probably made because the poster didn't see this post, and a comment made in there linked to this discussion.
Exactly that. My risk tolerance and multi-backup strategy means I use cheap old data center HDDs from Ebay for a fraction of the price. Now, if my NAS hardware itself goes kaput or I want to add new devices in the future, I may have to worry about the cost of my drives ramping up or risk potentially losing functionality.
The fact that they say "In addition, the migration of hard disks from existing Synology NAS to a new Plus model will continue to be possible without restrictions." to me means that this isn't due to a technical restriction, but just a desire to increase their HDD revenue stream.
Makes it very hard to recommend Synology going forward. This is not the first seemingly anti-consumer step they've taken recently.
*I do have a once-per-run Moonlight glitch that may even be because I'm on an older version. The first connection just doesn't pick up on the HDR immediately. I just have to reconnect once and it's good after that.
