Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices
German press release suggests expansion of the company's "integrated ecosystem."

@arstechnica I recommend #asustor nas. Asustor not only allow whatever drives you prefer, but also allow you flash a different OS from the one they provide(and recommend). Something that #synology has already rendered virtualy impossible to do
#asustor is non-usa, non-chinese but from #taiwan btw. Also something one may want to take into account these days.
I have #nextcloud running on #debian on #asustor and it flies.
@arstechnica Straight up anti-competitive behaviour! Very disappointing.
