I'll never buy from them again as long as they do this. I've owned four of their NASes. Fuck them. Hope my current rig lasts many years and they have time to see sales dive and reverse course before I need to reinvest. Even then, I probably won't choose them again on principle.

This sums it up for me as well

What's the alternative though? I'm not going to fuck around with having a home server and proxmox, I tried that once and it was a nightmare and simply not worth my time. My use case is having backups for my small business from 1 location to another and using the synology drive as cloud solution.

I buy a synology box, throw in a drive and don't look back until I buy another one. That's worth the extra money to me. No hassle, it just works and doesn't cost me any money or time having to configure all kinds of crap.

Yeah don't think I approve of any of this. In my opinion synology can at a bag of... well you know what.

I'd love to hear good alternatives from people though (genuinely since I will consider switching there is a competitor that offers the same value and ease of use).
