Starting to think that companies are all competing on a secretive Achievements Global Leaderboard.
Synology finally unlocked: "Hubris - only 99% of other large corporations have achieved this".
I have an old Synology NAS; which i was considering upgrading.
But...
- They removed Video Station and HEVC support
- Recently moved to remove all hardware transcoding
- This stupid HD restriction
- The decision to once again cheap out on hardware. My Synology is about as powerful as a first-gen Netbook. Newer models aren't much of a step-up. I'm surprised they opted to upgrade networking to 2.5gbe, probably pressure from competitors.
- Edit: from a comment, the e-waste builds with non-upgradeable RAM
Yes the software is easy and reliable to use, but the fact that I only need to interact with it a few times a year, means it's no longer a selling point for me.
