Drobo NAS deals this Boxing Day 2017

Drobo is a NAS brand that is heavily associated with Mac users, as well as photo and video editors around the world. heir NAS range boasts the lowest learning curve needed for any NAS brand. Thanks to a combination of easy RAID configurations with ‘BeyondRAID’, built in SSD Cache upgrade slots, internal recovery batteries on some models and fast warranty coverage, they are a popular NAS choice. Their range, however, is much smaller than most NAS brands so you will not see too many on the Boxing Day and Cyber Monday sales in 2017. Though if you see the Drobo 5N2 or Drobo 5D3 on a good Boxing Day offer, snap it up!.


Pros of Drobo NAS

What does Boxing Day mean?

When is all is said and done, Boxing Day means an extra day off to spend with your family and friends, visit another side of the family you didn’t get time to see on Christmas Day and put your appetite to the test by plowing through those leftovers.

But these days us Brits also celebrate Boxing Day bargain hunting, as major stores drop their prices to clear stock before the new year. We like to think of it as the day you give a gift to yourself!

What are Boxing Day sales?

Boxing Day is a shopping holiday where many retailers reserve some of their best sales for the year. It has become the most popular day for shopping in the UK. Discounts can range from anywhere between 25% to 80% off during a Boxing Day sale which is really the main reason why shoppers find it worth waiting for.

Bricks and mortar retailers like Target, David Jones and MYER are well known for having some of the best Boxing Day discounts. As part of a strategy to encourage people to go to their store they often have loss leading deals with products they will lose money on.

How did Boxing Day get its name?

Competing speculations about where Boxing Day got its name are many. The prevailing theory is that Boxing Day quite literally refers to “Christmas boxes”, another word for presents. The idea is that domestic workers and servants who worked on Christmas Day had the next day off to celebrate, and would give and receive boxed gifts for the occasion.

Are shops open on Boxing Day?

As a rule stores, shopping centres and retailers keep their doors open and their prices down on Boxing Day and wait for the crowds to come. There might be a few exceptions, as these days retailers start reducing items even before Christmas day itself, so it’s always best to double check if you are after something specific. If your favourite shop is not open on Boxing Day, or if you can’t stomach the crowds, take a look online instead.

When do Boxing Day sales end?

It really varies from shop to shop. Some shops will keep on reducing the price of their old stock until it’s all gone, while others will keep the sales to a strict deadline. In most cases, the best sales are available from 26 December until the first week of January.
