So far so good
I’ve owned a synology DS nas for over a decade with no problems. Decided to get a new one because I didn’t want to have to start upgrading all the existing 8tb drives as I would have to buy 3 20tb drives just to start getting more storage. Some people stated that this only accepts Synology drives. I don’t doubt that they would do that because of greed. But I was able to use WD Red Pro drives. They are far from cheap but they were properly detected and setup. It does say that they are not on the compatibility list and they won’t guarantee compatibility but everything works up front. Obviously it updated the OS before I did anything so perhaps they loosened the restrictions on drive compatibility I know in my old DS I was able to use Green drives but mostly use the Red drives now days. I will not be able to talk about longevity on this model as I wouldn’t expect any issues for years. As my old unit just turned 13 years old and is still running just fine. The only problem it has is not compatible with future OS upgrades as my old unit is now to old.

In Keeping With The Traditional Synology Performance Standards With Some Exceptions
The Synology DS1825+ continues to uphold the record of performance which I have been accustom to expect. The migration from the DS1621+ to the DS1825+ was relatively done with minimum angst. the 2.5 Gbe RJ-45 ports were a welcome upgrade. The only have complaints in two areas of this product. The Synology product is locked down which only allows the product to work with the Synology brand of M.2 SSD exclusively. While the decision do this might have made sense to Synology to minimize performance issues, the difference in performance between the Synology and generic brands of the M.2 SSD that was used in the DS1621+ was negligible given the cost difference. If you are needing SSD caching and are not ready to pay a premium for it. The use of Synology Hard Drives are not mandatory and the device is not locked down to prevent you from using Generic Hard Drives. I was able to migrate the Hard Drives from my DS1621+ to the DS1825+ without any issues. Synology should really consider rolling back this stance of excluding the consumer of making the decision of using generic versus Synology components. The decision should be at the discretion of the buyer how they want to configure the product for their requirements.

Great for Data hoarders who want an easy to setup and use NAS
UPDATE: I have been up for about a month with no issues. I added the 2 port 10GBE card, which didn't really increase transfer speeds. It took a while to get all of the certificates transferred from my old NAS to this one, but that is complete. My opinion remains that Synology makes the best once things are running you can forget it NAS units. I was running out of room in a 6 bay 1621XS+ NAS with all bays filled with 16TB drives. Thanks to drive shortages, it is cheaper to purchase a new NAS with more bays and add a spare drive than purchase 6 20TB drives to gain similar storage space. I had read about the Synology 3rd party drive drama. I also read about Synology reversing the decision for the DSxx25+ series units. I would not be surprised if Synology forces the 3rd party drives issue in future NAS releases as the company is focusing attention on servers and data centers instead of home and prosumer users. The basic features of the 1825+ are equal or less than my 5 year old 1621xs+ NAS it is replacing. I am downgrading an Intel 4 core Xeon D-1527 server processor for an AMD desktop processor and native 10GB ethernet for 2.5GB connectivity for two more bays. I do not have virtual machines or use docker and thus was underutilizing my server processor. I rarely transfer enormous files other than wired backups to another NAS. If 2.5GB ethernet becomes too slow in the future, I can upgrade to 1 or 2 10GB ports with an expansion card. The 5 year old RAM and m.2 SSD in my old NAS are the same as the new models making it easy to upgrade the 1825+. This gives me 32Gb of RAM and 2 400Gb m.2 SSD. Some may say that is not a good thing. It is clear that Synology is more focused on great user interface and reliability and less focused on the latest and fastest components. I do find the larger fans on the 1825+ to be an upgrade. 120mm fans will move more cubic feet of air than 90mm fans. This will extend drive life. Also, 120mm fans spin slower while maintaining airflow which will reduce noise. Unless you turn the fans up to full speed, the loudest thing is the hard drives. I had no issue migrating my RAID with 6 16TB Seagate Exos x16 drives to the new NAS. I then expanded the RAID with a 7th Seagate Exos drive. Synology does give a petty message that I am using drives that are not on the compatibility list, but it no longer gives RAID instability warnings or turn the drive indicators orange. You have access to all SMART data in the disk utility software. Other programs, such as surveillance station, do not share drive information. I understand Synology doesn't want a user to install desktop drives, but Enterprise drives from a reputable manufacturer? That is just plain petty and cost a star on the rating. Currently, this NAS officially supports 8 24TB Synology drives. It also supports up to 32Gb of Synology RAM and either 400Gb or 800Gb Synology m.2 drives. From my reading, using non Synology branded RAM and m.2 drives will cause error warnings or non booting. This further proves Synology is likely to force their drives on us again in the future. I researched the new enclosures that utilize USB C instead of eSATA. There is no noticeable speed increase with the new bus. This is nothing but a money grab obsoleting the older expansion units. With my hardware gripes why use Synology? The reason is the disk station software. Although I know how to use Linux, it is not my favorite thing. 99.999% of the time you do not need to telnet or shell into a Synology NAS to make changes outside of what the interface allows. There is no other NAS on the market with as powerful and user friendly interface. The software has multiple applications available for backups, mail servers, virtual machines, dockers, cloud sharing, and multimedia streaming. It is easy to find 3rd party software for Synology as well. If you want a mostly hands off NAS, Synology is the brand. Once you get everything running, it just works for several years without issue. If you like to continually tinker with settings, Synology will drive you crazy with passive aggressive messages while forcing changes in terminal or power shell. Yes it works with Plex. No, it doesn't offer transcoding. Will Synology be my brand of choice in the future? It depends on how they handle 3rd party components. For now, I have another 5 years before I need to make that choice. If you have an older Synology NAS and don't want to move to another vendor, I suggest purchasing a DSxx25+ series if you like your 3rd party drives. Although it is unlikely, going to provide you with a huge performance upgrade, it will provide you with 5 more years of Synology updates and support without having to make a decision regarding 3rd party drives.

It's dated hardware but even with the reduced software made it still worth it to me.
For me works as well as my DiskStation DS1821+, which is as of 2025 four years old. Did not have the Synology branded HDD's forced upon me as Synology was originally going to do. So far works well and is relatively easy to setup. Just hoping Synology doesn't cripple or remove some of the essential software that comes bundled with the DS1825+ the way they stopped supporting (essentially removed) software that was bundled with DS1821+, namely a very useful program called Video Station among a few others. The hardware specs aren't that good compared to others in this arena but the ease of use of the software that hasn't been removed in my use case is worth it.

Cannot use non-Synology hard drives!
The product description is not clear - you must purchase Synology branded harddrives in order to use this at all. The product description said "reduced functionality" with drives not on the compatibility list. Reduced functionality must mean it only functions as a paperweight+space heater because you cannot install the operating system onto a drive that isn't Synology brand. I do not understand why normal hard drives (Western Digital, Seagate, HGST, etc) are blocked from this device. If Synology branded drives are required they I'd think they'd just be included and configurable. Just like buying a MacBook. I'm forced to return this as I'm not replacing my existing hard drives that I've spent thousands of dollars on.

15 years of recommending Synology; this is where I STOP !!!
I waited years to replace my DS1813+. I wanted one modern eight-bay system that could consolidate several older Synology servers, while allowing the older units to be repurposed as slower backup targets. I had trusted Synology for roughly 15 years, recommended it to friends, family, small businesses, and even deployed it for projects at work. That trust is why this purchase is so disappointing. In 2023, I bought a DS1821+ because I could not wait any longer, but it stopped working within a week and I returned it. I decided to wait again for the next-generation eight-bay model. When the DS1825+ arrived, I began buying drives and planning the migration, including two NVMe SSDs for the built-in M.2 slots. Then I discovered how much Synology had changed its storage-compatibility approach. The NVMe SSDs I bought are not on Synology’s compatibility list. On a new DS1825+, DSM does not support using non-listed NVMe SSDs to create a new cache or SSD storage pool. The hardware has 2 M.2 slots, but using ordinary retail NVMe drives for their intended purpose can require unsupported workarounds or buying Synology-validated models instead. That is not the flexibility I expected from an expensive eight-bay NAS. The broader drive policy was even more frustrating. The DS1825+ launched amid a restrictive 2025 compatibility policy that pushed buyers toward Synology-validated storage and limited important functions for other drives. Synology later changed course in DSM 7.3 and restored third-party HDD and SATA SSD storage-pool support for Plus-series models. But as an early buyer planning a major migration, I had already been forced to question whether the drives I owned or the drives I could buy at normal market prices would work properly in a system I had waited years to purchase. That uncertainty is a serious problem. A NAS is not a disposable appliance. It is where people place years of data, backups, disks, and infrastructure decisions. Customers should not have to reverse-engineer compatibility databases, pay a premium for vendor-validated drives, or rely on unsupported hacks simply to use standard storage hardware. The DS1825+ also has only 2.5GbE built in. It supports faster networking through a PCIe expansion card, but an eight-bay 2025 NAS at this price should not make 10GbE an additional purchase for users who need it. My disappointment is not limited to drive compatibility. Across my Synology systems and the systems I have deployed for others, I have dealt with backup failures, services stopping unexpectedly, and reboot-related issues that take time and effort to diagnose. I am not claiming every Synology owner will have the same experience. I am saying that after supporting several systems over many years, I no longer have confidence that the convenience Synology once offered outweighs the operational friction and increasingly restrictive hardware policies. I am keeping the DS1825+ because I have already invested in the project and need to move files. But this will be my last Synology purchase. For years, I effectively promoted Synology for free because I believed it was the dependable choice for people who wanted a simple, capable, long-lived NAS. Now I am doing the opposite: warning friends, family, and clients that the platform has changed. I am moving toward self-hosted containers and more flexible hardware where I can choose my own drives, control my own upgrade path, and avoid being boxed into a vendor-approved storage ecosystem. Synology used to earn my recommendation. This product and the policy surrounding it lost it.

Best NAS I could find - very expandable
I looked into a lot of different NAS solutions, and I chose Synology because I can dynamically add to my array without losing data or reformatting. Several other manufacturers (you have to ask their tech support to find this out) require you to completely reformat the new array when you add a drive (as if I have 40+ TB just sitting around to do a backup). I also like that Synology's proprietary RAID allows me to mix different size drives and not have to live with just the smallest drive size (there are some limitations to this). I also like that I have 8 drive slots, so IF drive prices ever come down again, I can start adding more drives.
