Synology works with any hard drive. I bought a new unit and installed WD drives in it. No issues.

They did revert this because of public backlash:

The point is that Synology tried to vendor-lock their customers for profit, and even though they didn't follow through, they told us what they stand for, and it is now considered ill-advised to buy their hardware because of that.

We tried nearly all vendors, nothing is as polished as their Ui and software.
