Thanks for sharing the article! I understand the frustration with Synology's drive restrictions, and it’s great that you’re exploring ways to work around them. While I can't personally vouch for bypassing restrictions, it's always useful to know the different approaches that users are taking.

That said, keep in mind that bypassing the official verified drive list might void your warranty or lead to compatibility issues down the line. Synology’s verified list exists to ensure that the drives are fully compatible and reliable with their NAS systems, and using unsupported drives can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior, especially with firmware updates.

If you’re set on using certain drives outside of the verified list, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on any potential issues that might arise and ensure you're backed up just in case.
