I long while back (~15 years) there was a bit of a fiasco with Seagate drives. It had to do with firmware bricking some drives if I'm not mistaken. I was affect by this and didn't have redundancy back then. I swore Seagate off from then on.
Recently WD had the SMR situation where they had to come clean about it and now this.
I feel like no mater who you go with, they try to screw you either way. That or maybe just go with Toshiba. Haven't tried those yet. I'm not running a Synology anymore so that messaging won't affect me, but it's still annoying to know that it's part of their business practices.
