- Synology DSM 7.3 reinstates support for third-party hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs without warnings or reduced functionality.
- Users benefit from more choice and lower costs for NAS builds or upgrades.
- Synology reversed its policy due to backlash, sales pressure, and community outrage.
- The initial policy damaged Synology's reputation, leading some users to switch brands.
- DSM 7.3 restores flexibility, but it's unclear if it will fully regain user trust.
