majority of Synology storage-compatibility-related _problems_ can be solved with this: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db - seems to 'just work'

unsure about this 'smart storage' as my Syno is too old anyway :)

I think it's amazing that this project exists, and I have much respect for the authors. Well done. Still, I don't want to get stuck lying to my OS to make its features work on my hardware, and I don't want to have to trust that no future OS updates will remove that workaround. It feels like depending on a jailbroken phone. It's your phone: of course you have the right to do whatever you want with the hardware. I wouldn't want to count on the jailbreak continuing to work, though.
