Re: Black Friday nonsense
It's all a nonsense as Which? Magazine has proved. Better to keep an eye on the price of something you really want and then just buy it when you see it on offer.

But the nas is the cheap part, it is the disks that then cost. Built my latest one on Brexit as I realised prices would zoom. So bought mother board, processor 32GB Ram, sata expansion card, SSDs for OS and ZIL, 5 bay hot swap chassis, quiet PSU and 5 WD 3TB reds. Ouch that became one expensive NAS. But now I have replaced a couple of devices by jailing there functionalty in the nas, and recovered some storage on my vmware though iSCSI it has probably saved me in the longer term.
