Oh, I read somewhere that it was only the rackmount nas devices that had to use their drives, whereas the desktop devices could use any disk (even if not necessarily on the list of certified disks)

There's a lot of chatter on this, and there are some aspects that are unclear.  Here's the policy:

• https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/tutorial/Drive_compatibility_policies

This excludes J and Value models, but includes higher-end desktop NAS.  

antibhain - this applies to new models (in the process of being launched), not older models in their lineup.  And vandermerwe said specifically that he was waiting for these new models to get current hardware.  So it would apply to his purchase.

I'm not bashing Synology (or any other NAS vendor) - obviously anyone looking for a new NAS will be moving on from ReadyNAS, and Synology is a long-established manufacturer.  But I think the drive lock policy is something prospective customers need to be aware of. 

AFAICT the Synology-branded drives are currently manufactured by Toshiba.  They are readily available (at least in the US).  US Amazon prices for 16 TB drives look somewhat higher than Ironwolf Pro and Toshiba - but the difference is not excessive.
