Getting ready for the Black Friday sales...

[martin-s]

Where's @Edwin when you need a black friday NAS deal?

 

[Skinner]

I'm looking at another Synology @martin-s , there has been some Synology 218J and 218Plays on offer, haven't seen any really good deals on hard drives yet.

If I see anything special Ill post here

There is a Synology 4 Bay 415 Play (video transcoder) at £250 in the amazon warehouse deals, WD have 20% off on their website hard drive wise.

Thanks, but it's overkill for what I need. Just looking for a NAS as a personal storage/backup device. Keen to find one that can backup offsite too, like the QNAP I have for work.

I've gone with one of these: https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/27628-qnap-ts-231p-8tb-siw/
Not an amazing deal and I'd have preferred WD Red drives, but pretty good all the same.

Not on current topic, but virgin medias sim only 200gb (ee)for £20 could be good for any business users out there that have staff that smash data.

 

[Skinner]

There is a QNAP TS-328 with 2gb Ram, and 3 Bays (Raid 5 capable) for £191.

Again its probably overkil again, but its the sort of thing I look for for so probably just not seeing more simple options

There was a decent spend spend £40 get £25 back on Amazon AMEX deal offer that was applicable to all family members using the card. That aside though not a great deal caught my eye.

Just saw this... https://www.box.co.uk/Buffalo-TeraStation-1400-4-TB-(4-x1-TB)-_1716426.html

Not as much storage as some but it's a 4 bay with raid 5 / Raid0+1 ready for under 300, plenty of future upgrade potential and resilience.

I know Martin's sorted but always room for more storage
