											Synology has made a significant shift in its drive validation policy with the release of DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.3. This update allows customers with newer Synology NAS devices to utilize third-party hard drives, marking a departure from the previous requirement that mandated the use of only Synology-branded HDDs. The new version of DSM aims to enhance data management capabilities as users navigate the complexities of growing data volumes.
In an official statement, Kenneth Hsu, director at Synology, emphasized the necessity for advanced solutions in the face of rapid data growth. He noted, “As data grows rapidly, advanced solutions are needed to manage, process, and unlock its full value.” The updates in DSM 7.3 are designed to support users amid evolving challenges in data management while ensuring a secure and reliable platform.
New Features and Enhanced Flexibility
The release of DSM 7.3 introduces several new features that enhance storage flexibility. Synology has collaborated with various drive manufacturers to broaden the range of storage media certified for reliable use with its NAS products. This collaboration aims to provide customers with more options and adaptability in managing their data storage needs.
Another noteworthy addition is the opening of compatibility for Synology’s 2025 model-year DiskStation Plus, Value, and J-series NAS devices. These models will now support third-party drives, allowing users greater freedom in choosing their storage solutions. The update is available as a free download for existing users, reflecting Synology’s commitment to enhancing user experience.

For those interested in the details of these changes, Synology has made comprehensive release notes available. Customers can learn more about the new drive compatibility policies and access the update through the Synology Knowledge Center. This resource provides essential information on navigating the new features and optimizing the use of DSM 7.3.
Overall, the reversal of the drive validation policy signifies an important transition for Synology, as the company adapts to the needs of its users in a rapidly changing technological landscape. With DSM 7.3, Synology aims to empower customers with more choices and effective tools for managing their data in an increasingly digital world.
