Prime Day Bargains on Synology, QNAP, Seagate, WD, Sabrent and More to Watch For

That’s right, it is that time once again when the biggest e-retail company in the world hosts Its very own mega sale – Amazon Prime Day 2022. No doubt many of us with a prime subscription burning a hole in our account every month will be keen to take advantage and perhaps save a few quid. Both home and business users alike often take this opportunity to upgrade or improve upon their existing data storage setup, and it should come as no surprise that several of the top-tier data storage and network tech providers in the world get involved with this annual mega sale. Unlike the likes of Black Friday, which is a longer and more widely spread bargain extravaganza, Amazon Prime Day is a shorter affair and therefore the time afforded to most buyers to make a decision on whether to buy or not can be criminally short. Today I want to highlight as many Amazon Prime Day deals that I can find below as possible. Alongside the deals that we (me and Eddie, working double time) find on network and data storage products during the event, I have also included a list of recommended hardware that you should keep an eye out for during this short sale event that is likely to spring up on lightning deals.Ā 

Important – Me and Eddie (the chaps that run NASCompares) have been running these deal-hunting pages every Prime Day and Back Friday, searching and sharing the deals we find that WE would 100% personally buy! If it’s not something we consider a deal/bargain, we won’t add it. Additionally, users can add their own deals to the list (using the gadget below). Ultimately, we do this for a mixture of reasons. We want to help people get the best storage and/or network solution for their needs, but also because by choosing to visit Amazon via the links to the deals below, any purchase you make results in a small commission fee being sent right back to us at NASCompares (which goes directly back into making great content every day). We see Prime Day and Black Friday as a means of fundraising for the site and still helping people get the best possible deal they can. If you need help choosing the right solution for your needs (and want to be 100% sure before you pull the trigger and spend anything), you can use our Free Advice service right here.

Will Synology NAS be in the Amazon Prime Day 2022 Sale and Which Solutions?

Synology of currently midway through their latest generation of hardware releases and because of this we think during Prime Day there will be a good mix of the familiar hardware that has featured in previous sales over the last 12 months, as many of the 2018, 2019, and 2020 generation of NAS in the brand’s portfolio (such as the DS218/DS218play/DS418) is still available yet also starting to look a tad dated. These big sale events always tend to result in the lowest end of the Synology range (the cost-effective J series, DS220j and DS420j) appearing on limited offers. Finally, with new releases appearing gradually in the 2022 and 2023 generation, I think we will see Prime Day deals on their home and prosumer 2/4 bay solutions. Last year’s Prime Day AND Balck Friday saw the DS920+ appear on a limited offer of Ā£55/$75 off the RRP of this device and now the device is 2 years old, it will almost certainly reappear during the Prime Day Sale again. Here are the solutions I recommend you check on intermittently if you are looking for a Synology bargain:

Synology DS220j Budget-Friendly NAS

Realtek CPU + 512MB + 2-Bay

Synology DS418 Cost-Effective NAS

Realtek CPU + 2GB + 4-Bay

Synology DS920+ Media & Business NAS

Intel CPU + 4/8GB + 4-Bay

Will QNAP NAS be in the Amazon Prime Day 2022 Sale and Which Solutions?

QNAP has revealed noticeably more of their latest generation hardware than their big competitor Synology, however, the brand is still periodically offering promotions online for their 2020 generation of hardware at a large number of retailers for its TS-x53D and TVS-X72 series, almost certainly in efforts to reduce stock levels in the run-up to newer and better premium solutions soon. Now that the QNAP TS-464 system has been revealed (although availability is still quite regionally limited) and with the summer holiday just around the corner, there will be an inevitable new product push that these products tend to receive in the last quarter of the year (starting typically around September/October), I can definitely see QNAP listing their more affordable desktop ranges in Amazon’s Prime Day sale. QNAP’s range of NAS solutions is easily one of the most diverse of any NAS brand and although it is highly unlikely that any of the TS-x64 series will be on sale this Prime Day, I DO think we will see the likes of the QNAP TS-453D, TS-233 and TS-251D appear on sale. These solutions are a good mix of old but solid, as well as new but ‘value’ series. QNAP tend to be more engaged with Black Friday than Prime Day typically, but this event is arriving at an important crossroads in the release of new hardware, so it would be a good opportunity for them to clear old generation devices that still run their QTS/QuTS 5 software.

QNAP TS-233 Cost-Effective NAS

ARM v8 + 2GB + 2-Bay

QNAP TS-453D Prosumer 4K NAS

Intel CPU + 4/8GB + 4-Bay + 2.5G

QNAP TS-364 2022 Gen NAS

New Intel CPU + 4/8GB + 3/5-Bay + 2.5G

NAS Upgrades to look for this Amazon Prime Day

Perhaps you already own a NAS Drive from Synology or QNAP, but are considering using the promotional available this Amazon Prime Day to upgrade your existing server network. Most NAS drives released in the last 10 years that arrive built on x86 64bit architecture (i.e Intel Celeron, Pentium, Xeon or AMD Ryzen, Embedded Ryzen or Radeon Powered onboard) have the facility to upgrade several internal components, or even simply add further network or storage modules to the device in order to improve performance and allow it to be more future proof. Not every NAS owner takes advantage of this, as it more often than not requires a little bit of opening the NAS up, but more modern NAS releases have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the necessity of this (often with upgrade slots/bays being accessible externally or via the main storage bays). The improvements of increasing your memory, adding SSD caching support, improving your network connectivity and/or adding an expansion are pretty huge and particularly business users with higher frequency ad volume of connections 24×7 will see AND feel the benefits. There are ALOT of 1st and 3rd party upgrades available, so it is important to check that 1) you are opting for an upgrade that is compatible with your system and 2) that you are remaining in the warranty/support area of your NAS manufacturer. If in doubt, you can ask me and Eddie HERE about an upgrade and it’s suitability in the free advice section, but otherwise here are the four upgrades that I recommend you look for this Amazon Prime Day.

CRUCIAL DDR4 Module

Value Memory Upgrade

Sabrent 3200Mhz Heatshield Memory

Highest Performance & Design

Startech 10GbE Upgrade

VERY Affordable 10G

Seagate Ironwolf 510 SSD

Best Price vs Durability Cache Drive

 

Will Terramaster NAS be in the Amazon Prime Day 2022 Sale and Which Solutions?

Terramaster NAS, frankly, ALWAYS appears on sale during Prime Day and Black Friday events on Amazon with exclusive deals for their more cost-effective value series of NAS devices. They are a brand that more often than not will provide a NAS solution that is comparable in hardware to Synology and QNAP, but significantly more affordable. Much like their competitors, Terramaster is in the process of rolling out their x43 2022 generation of hardware and we have already started seeing reductions in price on the 2020/2021 generation of devices in the FX-421 and FX-422 range of solutions. Of course, the brand also provides a range of thunderbolt raid solutions, and even though I anticipate some of the NAS hardware to pop up briefly in the sales, I think it is more likely that we will see their thunderbolt RAID solutions appear more prominently. Terramaster were one of the first to show off their 2022 series of devices and will be less keen for this hardware to appear in the Prime Day sale, however, thunderbolt 4 has begun to gain traction in the post-production world and therefore TerraMaster’s thunderbolt 3 hardware is in danger of looking a little outdated and is almost certainly due an upgrade in the near future. Therefore, keep an eye out for this brand’s Thunderbolt RAID hardware this Prime Day.

Terramaster F2-210 Low Price NAS

4-Core ARM v8 + 1GB + 2-Bay

Terramaster F5-221 Budget Media NAS

Intel CPU + 2/8GB + 5-Bay + 1G

Terramaster F5-422 Affordable 10G NAS

Intel 4-Core CPU + 4/8GB + 5-Bay + 10G

Will we see many NAS Hard Drive Deals this Prime Day from Seagate and WD?

Every Amazon Prime Day we see the two big hard drive manufacturers, Seagate and WD, throw all manner of storage media deals out to the general public. More often than not, these are external hard drives and USB storage for the most part, but they always include a few hard drive offerings too. Continued hardware shortages that date back all the way to early 2020 caused by everything from the pandemic to cryptocurrency and the impact of international conflict, likely mean that much larger capacity hard drives above 10TB will either not be featured in the sale at all or be in such low quantities that you will almost certainly miss them. However, deals on WD Red and Seagate Ironwolf drives at these big promo events do still appear and more often than not at the 4TB, 6TB and 8TB levels. If you are looking at populating your brand new NAS Drive or look into upgrade your existing storage, these may well be the ones for you.

NAS Hard Drives & SSD to Look for this Amazon Prime Day

WD Red HDD

5400RPM / 1-14TB

Seagate Ironwolf HDD

5900RPM / 1-14TB / Data Recov

WD Red SSD

SATA, M.2 SATA & PCIe3 NVMe

Seagate Ironwolf SSD

Recommended IP Cameras, Web Cameras, PoE NVR and Surveillance Equipment the Prime Day

Not a single Prime Day goes by without a huge range of IP cameras from hundreds of different surveillance brands flooding the special offers page. Thanks to efficient software controllers and much more affordable lenses being developed, you generally cannot move for IP cameras arriving on Amazon. If you are looking at starting your own surveillance setup (such as with a Synology or QNAP NAS Drive or without using a complete NVR Solution) or simply looking to expand across an existing NVR or CCTV operation you have in place, be sure to look out for Riolink and D-Link this Prime Day as these two brands provide an extensive range of very well built cameras that tend to regularly appear on Amazon’s lightning deals and occasional promotional events. Otherwise, be sure to look for any camera that supports ONVIF, to ensure that you are not locked in to any first party, cloud or subscription storage.

Surveillance/Camera Brands to watch this Amazon Prime Day

Reolink Surveillance

Smart Cameras, Value Cameras, Dual Lense

D-Link Surveillance

Cost-Effective, Wide Range, AI Services

Annke Surveillance

Excellent Nightvision Cameras – Affordable

ONVIF CAMERAS for NAS

Cameras for Synology/QNAP

Recommended Network Switches to keep an eye on this Amazon Prime Day

It has taken a while, but the affordability of 2.5GbE and even 10GbE has finally reached a point where not only are they accessible to the average John Doe/Joe Blogs, but they regularly appear on seasonal promotions. During Prime Day there will be significant savings to be made on managed and unmanaged switches from the likes of Netgear, D-Link and QNAP, who have been bolstering their portfolio to rise to the demand of remote/home works and evolved networks during the difficult first year of the pandemic as office workers evolved. Even if you are not interested in these greater than gigabit network solutions, Netgear regularly reduce the price point of their 5/8 Ports 1 GbE switches during Prime Day to just a few quid (last year there was one for a frankly comedic Ā£6) and you will really not find a better time to start improving upon your network environment and wired land than during this event.

Switches to Look for this Amazon Prime Day

Smart Cameras, Value Cameras, Dual Lense

PS5 SSD Upgrades to Look for the Amazon Prime Day

It is almost a year now since Sony enabled the storage upgrade capabilities of the PlayStation. 5 and in that time we have seen a huge number of SSD manufacturers, big and small, release countless SSDs that all promise to be the perfect storage upgrade for your new next-gen console. In the past year or so I have conducted and published hundreds of SSD PS5 tests and during that time identified what I believe to be the very best drives for your PS5 that you should consider buying this Prime Day. Much as I mentioned earlier with larger capacity hard drives, SSDs are also suffering something of a hardware shortage and it is the bigger companies such as WD and Seagate that appear to be suffering the most as they are the ones held in the highest demand. Therefore, during Prime Day, it presents a fantastic opportunity for less high-profile brands to provide much more flexible promotional pricing and during Prime Day, you can bet your bum that there will be a wide variety of PCIe 4 NVMe M2 SSDs on offer. Remember – Resist the marketing of any brand that is not prepared to publish its performance figures and also factor in that you are going to need a heat sink for this super-fast but also high-temperature SSD for your PlayStation upgrade. Here are the SSDs I recommend that you look out for this Prime Day for your PS5.

WD Black SN850 – For Value

500GB – 2TB, Heatsink Option

Seagate Firecuda 530 – For Speed/Durability

500B – 4TB, Heatsink Option. Data Recov

Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus – Best All-Round

1TB-8TB, PS5 Design H/S, 176L NAND

GAMMIX XPG X70 – Price + Design

INNOGRIT CONT, 2 H/S Options Inc

      1. Thanks for reviewing Canadian deals! I’m saving up for a nas so will be watching your channel to learn more about what to watch for! Thanks for your efforts!
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      2. I thought the Synology 920+ maximum RAM was 8GB. Can I add more? (You mentioned the Crucial 16GB) I ordered the 920+ and an extra 4GB RAM for a total of 8GB yesterday for $100 off. Great deal! But if I can add more RAM, I’ll return the 4GB and get the 16GB.

      3. Been following your channel for a while, and finally bit the bullet on my first NAS, i got that 253D based on yours and some other’s recomendations! šŸ™‚ Questions, I got a dual channel crucial 16gb memory for it(CT16G4SFD8266)
        i wanted to ask, does the 253d DO ok with a single stick of dual channel memory or should i not even try installing it and go for a 2 x 8gb sticks instead?
        Hi from Canada!

      4. HI Gang! If you are watching this and the resolution is blurry/360p, that is because YouTube is still processing and 720p/1080p etc will be available in the next 15 mins. Cheers!
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      5. Thanks very much. Here in Oz the Seagate IronWolf 8TB actually went up in price for Prime Day! $305.52 compared to $304.90! Perhaps a rookie error but I’m assuming you can’t buy from say the UK site, from here?

      6. Hi, I was lucky to get a QNAP TS-453D-4G from EUR 399,74 for Amazon France + 10ā‚¬ sending to Ireland. Vendu par : Amazon EU S.a.r.L. Etat : Neuf. This one was outside of the Amazon Prime Days. Bonus, I am learning French..????
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      7. I woke up very early before work and was able to snag the DS920+ at $100 off and then combined with my prime rewards from their credit card program it was just over 300 at checkout on US region, easiest decision for the day.

      8. Hi mate, sorry to hijack the comments with an unrelated question but you’re Obi Wan Kenobi to me atm (my only hope). I just set up my Qnap NAS TS453 Pro with two Iron Wolf 4TB drives. I think I’ve done something wrong in the set up as it’s telling me that its already full and its only got 500gb in it. Also, it acknowledges there are two drives but it doesn’t seem to let me use the second one. Can you please provide any insight based on my poorly described situation on what i can do from here? I’m happy to pay you via Patreon or something and I’m happy to start again if thats what i need to do. Thanks.
        REPLY ON YOUTUBE

      9. I got that 4TB ironwolfs in January for Ā£80 rrp, but now prime day is here they upped the rrp to Ā£110 and disounting to Ā£70 to make it seem like a better deal, when it fact it is only a Ā£10 saving.
