3. No more Synology for me. The power supply on my RS2418+ recently died and I’m looking to replace it with a newer unit. In the past, I would just order a new Synology, but this time I’m going to get a UNAS Pro 8. I’m also advising all my clients to start moving away from Synology for their next purchase.

4. I am a bit confised mate, keen to buy using you reference codes, but the website is only showing US deals in dollars. I am in the UK, can I filter it to see UK drives and deals, with affiliate links so you get the commission. I am buying my first Nas before Xmas, quite likley during black friday

5. The WD SN850X absolutely needs to get down to under $450 to even be interesting… and $400 would be a solid buy! The Samsung 9100 Pro should really be below $600 to be interesting, and honestly I probably wouldn’t buy it until it is at least below $500.

6. Guys, whats the best beginner nas in uk? Im after something for mainly media streaming, and also access for some generic docs and files like i would use Dropbox/google drive. It has to be relative idiot proof for set up as i dont have a clue. Was originally thinking qnap ts233 would do, but some advice would be nice please ????

7. Even though Synology has some great deals and walked backed only using their HD, I am still never buying a Synology product

8. What a ripoff! Noted down disk prices 2 months ago. Just before Black Friday they went up 50% and now they are cheaper? KEKW! One idiot born every tenth of a second. If you want cheap tech go to a liquidation sale.

9. BTW, the reason why the US doesn’t display prices with tax is because of the variability of taxes in the US. There is no federal sales tax rate, each state can set their own sales tax, counties can also set a sales tax, and cities can have a sales tax as well.

10. I grabbed a WD 14Tb elements external back drive for US$169. Looked up the internal HDD using HDDscan and looks like a helium filled 7200 rpm enterprise drive. Feel I got a good deal. She is backing up my UGreen NAS essential data.

11. Synology, while I like the ecosystem, are definitely a fool me once shame on you (Synology) fool me twice, shame on me. They will try this disk locking sometime in the future. Sorry Synology.

15. Are there any model numbers for the CWWK boards / system? The linked ones do not ship to me in the U.S.

16. Been running the TerraMaster F6-424 Max for over six months now — six 20TB drives in RAID 6, dual 10GbE hitting real-world writes over 2000 MB/s! It’s a dream for the whole team editing and sharing 4K RAW at the same time. Already got one at home, planning to snag another on Black Friday for my personal office.

17. I have 4x ironwolf drives that need a home so I’m buying a qnap TR-004, on sale as usual under $200. Even if it sucks, I’ll have some way to use these 4 perfectly good but slightly small ironwolf drives in RAID connected to my TS-453mini. Performance? Who cares. It’s gonna be a place to stash photos at raid 5.
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

18. I love your reviews. Can you tell me which SSD I should get to put in a TerraMaster F4-425 Plus? It’s limited to gen 3.0×1 so even a gen3 drive would be fine but I need a 2TB version with DRAM and a heatsink that will FIT into this NAS. What are your thoughts?
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

19. Because nobody is buying Synology anymore.
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

20. That hard drive is half the price ($700aud) of a the same drive in Australia. I can find the 24tb for $200 more. But 28tb ????. Hoping I’ll see deals on 18tb drives, hard drives are stupidly expensive in Australia right now. There’s a grey market supplier that is selling 8tb ironwolf pro for $600aud

21. Synology is being weird right now. Where I am, my local shop has the DS1825+ reduced by $450 CAD, and they list it as “while supplies last” which they usually don’t do unless they are clearing stock to make way for new models. Makes me wonder if Synology is prepping a mid-cycle refresh like a DS1826+ maybe? Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done that.

24. ugreen dxp4800 plus looks good, but 550/600$ for that is ridiculous.

25. Never heard so many balls going to the wall. thanks for all the deal hunting
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

26. Even with the discounts I will be staying clear of Synology, would be a different matter if they weren’t playing games with HDD compatibilities to force you to buy their over priced drives.
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

27. 8tb drive is like £100 more expencive than it was a couple of weeks ago
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

28. Great vid. I’m in the market for a new NAS for a roaming GPU-powered AI fortress idea I’m currently building with my family.

    I was wondering if you offer any consultations? I can easily just toss a Syno DS in this thing and call it a day but the whole buildout needs an extra pair of eyes for redundancy, DR, etc.

    Either way, thanks for the content!

29. B&H has better deals on Synology than Amazon as of now.
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

30. Not impressed with any of these deals. Show me an 8TB NAS Hard Drive for 85 dollars or something, that’s a deal I could wrap my money around. I can’t even buy the family breakfast at a diner for any of these savings. The NAS deals for a hundred or more off are OK, but honestly, I would rather see sales on the Hard drives. Show me a 600-dollar NAS for 300, that’s how we define banger deal in the US. I know it’s a regional UK thing, but the way you say router with a looooong O always make me laugh…good stuff. They can keep the 600-dollar plus NVMEs, hard pass. The UGREEN deals are laughable, they have already had the same deals well before Black Friday. All good, but another disappointing Black Friday set of deals. The absolute best deal you have shown is the M1 Minis forum PC. Too bad I already have more PCs than I need. The Motherboard deal with a prepopulated CPU is a pretty good deal as well. Too bad I already have 2 DIY NAS devices. I am staying away from Synology unless they put a 75% discount on their NAS devices.

31. “Phenomenal” and “hardware” should never be in the same sentence with Synology.

32. Love your videos man! Definetely looking for a good offer to switch from my SSD external disks to a NAS. I’m a filmmaker and i need a good workflow to work with a Mac Studio and a NAS for editing. Would you recommend me the Ugreen 8 bay NAS? Thanks mate!

33. Bit of a shame the Beelink Me Mini isnt on sale but hey ho

34. I literally got the 28TB for $576 2 days ago and then saw it went down to $449 on B&H Photo so I just contacted them and they were nice enough to do the price match which was pretty sweet!

35. This maybe is not the video, but I wanted to ask. I purchased the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus and so far it is wonderful. However, I am not able to download the app for my iPhone or Android devices. Apparently it is not available on all the markets. Could you talk to them and ask when are they going international with their apps? I purchased it from the US but my account is in Panama. Thank you.

36. Synology can offer as much discount as it wants, I still wouldn’t touch their products, trust is broken, and there’s no assurances they won’t remove features or lock out hardware.

    I’ve got the QNAP TS-464, the one with upgradeable RAM, not the current soldered RAM version, I’ve generally been happy with it, but would I buy it today? No I don’t think I would, the N100 and N150 CPUs are faster CPUs, and UGreen’s Intel Pentium Gold 8505 crushes the Intel N5105, plus you get 10Gbe built in with the UGreen 4-bay and it’s less money, I put a 10Gbe add in card to my TS-464, but due to the N5105 lane allocation you don’t get 10GBe, it floats between 2.5GBe and 5Gbe in the real world, good enough to edit 1080p directly, but long term I’m going DIY next “upgrade”. The only way I’d be buying the TS-464 today is used and half the retail price. There’s much better hardware offerings for the same or better price.

    I bought the CWWK Intel N305 in the summer sales, for a DIY NAS to live at my sister’s, I paid £178.32 with no import costs for it, I couldn’t justify the bump in price for the N355 since it will only be for mass storage, CCTV and media playback, maybe Home Assistant down the line, not much different to what I’m doing on my N5105, so I knew the N305 would handle it’s use case, but I wanted the headroom and 10GBe coz I don’t intend to replace it until it’s basically dead or crawling. I’ve had it running at mine for testing 24/7 since middle of August, coz my sister’s not moved to their new house yet, and I’ve had zero issues. I have swapped out the 16GB RAM I initially installed for 48GB though, as TrueNAS uses 8GB and a couple of containers, plus Proxmox overhead, then spinning up a Linux VM with 4GB caused the system to shutdown, but that was on me, first time I’ve set up TrueNAS and didn’t think about RAM allocation planning, but at least I know the CWWK motherboard will protect itself.

    Advice on RAM and SSDs, if you see a good deal, anywhere, new or used, buy it, coz GamersNexus is predicting a 2 year rough period due to AI BS hoovering up all the chips, leaving us consumers high and dry. I am assuming HDD prices are also related to AI data centers causing shortages and price increases, but that’s only my hunch. PC and NAS builders are in for a torrid time. The 48GB DDR5 Sodimm stick I got, retail in late August was £100, now it’s £229 on Amazon, thankfully I found an ebay seller willing to take £80 on a listing of £100, I feel lucky after I saw the steep increase that I wasn’t initially aware of.

40. synology DS225+ VS ugreen DXP2800 – use case, backup iphone videos/photos, backup mbp and a windows machine. not sure if to go for the best OS vs best hardware – both are priced below$280 insane! what to do x3
    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

41. Worth noting, for deal hunters … that if you’re looking for RAM … prices have basically doubled in the last month.
    So any ‘savings’ you’re shown … are from double the price the RAM cost a month ago.
    Who do you blame?

42. Seagate is having some really good deals on their website for the Expansion Desktop Hard Drive. 24 TB for $240. They seem to be rotating the discounts. I bought the 20TB for $230 a week ago. If I’d known they were going to discount the 24TB I would have held out. sigh…

44. Was thinking about getting a DXP6600 Pro, pity all the savings I would have made will be wiped out by the increase in RAM prices! Up by 120€ in 1 week for crucial a 64Gb kit!

46. Yep, “sales” are coming. HD prices in my area all jumped 20% or more in price over the past few weeks.

47. Amazing price from B&H on that 28TB Seagate, UK prices have been rising steadily over the last month. Taking a risk buying from the US but at that price it’s worth it, even with shipping and taxes.

    REPLY ON YOUTUBE

55. So I bought the Terramaster F2 424 for Black Friday. This is gonna be my first NAS. I was wondering since I see you have a few videos on this device. I need it for backing up my MacBook and my iPhone plus be a storage area for all my photography. Client photos, and hopefully powerful enough to edit photos straight from the device. I was wondering, is there a good app for that they offer to back up the MacBook and MacBook Pro kinda like Synology?

56. But where are those Jonsbo n5 cases at that price? Yesterday and today I’ve scoured Aliexpress and I haven’t found anything under 220 euros.

57. @Robbie
    Hey, apparently on the WAN Show tonight, Linus was talking about HexOS being released beta for testing, said he had a video all about it that comes out this Sunday on his channel, and that there will definitely be a one time payment lifetime access plan ($50 today, $100 in December … eventually $300 long term – you might want to get ahead on that) and … that iX Systems is actually an Angel Investor in this company … thats who owns TrueNAS.
    Did ya know that?
