M1 Mac Studio Finder hangs and crashes accessing Synology NAS
Issue
Finder on M1 Max Mac Studio 2022 hangs and crashes when performing certain file operations on Synology DiskStation 916+ NAS shares. Users can browse and open files on the NAS normally. However, when trying to save a new file from certain applications, the file is saved with no issues, but when trying to open, or just preview the new file, Finder becomes unresponsive for about a minute and then crashes. After Finder is re-opened everything is working fine again.
The issue doesn't affect older Macs with Intel processors.

Mac Mini M2 Pro with three Apple Studio Displays
A user purchased Mac Mini M2 Pro (2023) with 3 Apple Studio 27'' 5K Displays. An Apple store happily sold him everything ensuring that it will "just work". Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Although Mac Mini M2 Pro does support 3 displays, Apple tech specs page says the following:
Up to three displays: Two displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI.
This seemed acceptable to the user and he purchased HDMI to Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4K cable to connect the third screen.
