Excellent spot Frank :smiley: Heat added :smiley:

If you don't know why not then this isn't for you :laughing:

Don't need it, can't afford it, bought it!

Hi, Has anyone noticed the used like new listing from what seems to be a 'con artist' for this product offering?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00P4O2SMU/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Don't understand how these people are able to list on the marketplace as I've sold some things on there and they were very stringent? Spotting many, many of similar listings - for high value goods - and you seem to have to email the seller before you can buy!?. They're ripping people off from what I'm able to gather.

But it's not available?

I at least want to thank the OP, OK so the deal went south but at least I know know I really want a NAS having read up on this one

I've received an email from Amazon cancelling the order with an apology!! Ah well worth a shot.

Reinstated at the original price or the 'real' price?

After going onto the amazon chat and complaining I managed to get the order reinstated and also £5 knocked off the order. Nice!

As mentioned previously, I got a WD My Cloud Mirror 2-bay 6tb (2 x 3tb red drives) for £210 through Amazon lightening deals. Do you think ill find a better deal than this? I wss going to return if this deal was honoured but now don't know what to do!

cancellation for my order too.

Back to my Gen8 then... :smiley:

Cancelled as well thought it was too good to be true! Now to find a WD NAS drive deal drives only damit ha.

The price for `QNAP TS-251 12 TB High Performance Network Attached Storage for SOHO' (ASIN: B00P4O2SMU) was displayed incorrectly when you placed your order 203-8504159-8361943.

Despite our best efforts, with the millions of items available on our website, pricing errors can occasionally occur.

Oh...well - what's next

there was no harm in trying......

cancellation email received. misprice.

Lol are you having a bad day or something?

how about this with some toshiba e300 disks?

https://eucomtech.eu/uk/ds416j-4bay-13-ghz-dc-1xgbe.phtml?google-analytics=UA-73071761-1&gclid=CNr3o9iQ3dACFYi97QodqnoBhA

Same email. What's the alternative? Anyone found anything ​

This has nothing to do with being a decent human being but thanks for your input

How about just being a decent human being? Although if you really have to ask...

Why not?

Cancelled, win some lose some.

Cancelled

Yep cancelled. :disappointed: Great spot though, always worth a try.

cancelled also :disappointed:

cancelled.... :disappointed:

Why? You know it was clearly a pricing error. What is everybody so entitled nowadays? I ordered, and fully expected it to be cancelled as it was. No skin of my nose, I haven't lost out on anything so why would I expect compensation?

cancelled 10:47am

Cancelled as well.

cancelled

Cancelled - Thought would be. Not disappointed. Thought was worth a punt so to speak.

cancelled. :disappointed:

That's what I'm trying to get haha.

Was fun whilst it lasted

Same just received that dreaded email, they could at least give a £5 voucher for letting you down.

=(

Did the early instock orders get cancelled as well?

Just got a cancellation email as well.... :disappointed:

Order has been automagically cancelled.

Yup, sanguine advice there. Was obviously a misprice, no one who ordered it can claim otherwise.

Me too:(

Just received a cancellation email as well. Win some lose some...

Just got an email saying they've cancelled the order

The item looks to have just disappeared from the "My Orders" page on Amazon....

Relisted at £689?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/QNAP-Performance-Network-Attached-Storage/dp/B00RX1AHEI/

Though I don't need it as I already have a 4 drive QNAP filled with 6TB drives but this could come in handy

Still living in hope here

Didn't order in the end, as cannot see Amazon losing that much money per unit. It's not like a few quid compared to several hundred.

Hi
Just tried the link, and the price is 906.22 , so what is the matter?

Damn. Missed out in this, saw it earlier, got distracted and it slipped my mind. Mu current NAS I got from a HUKD amazon deal for a qnap Ts-210 a few years back. Everyone said that when ordered wasnt going to come with two 2tb drives when the price alone for those was basically the normal cost for the unit without drives. I ordered then when out of stock and it dispatched a day or two later, drives included

Still waiting.... They havent sent me a cancellation email yet so I still see it on my orders list for £324. I think it will most likely end in a cancellation and they are just burning through the list of people who ordered spamming cancellation emails so hence the delay but it would be a nice christmas present if they did honor the price.

That's not necessarily true - camelcamelcamel doesn't track lightning deals, so it's possible it has been cheaper than reported on camelcamelcamel.

Unfortunately I think that's the case too although would of been nice! Now I need to find a good deal on WD Reds as my 2x 2tbs are full nearly this would of been perfect ha.

Preparing to cancel your order.

They didn't magic up stock overnight. :smiley: Really can not see this being honoured.

Would of or would have? I don't know if that's a deliberate mistake these days.

yep, mine says they are preparing my order

Looks to be out of stock now, only one for sale is the £900 one. Also looks like the scam artist has either sold his one for £350, or else amazon finally pulled it from sale.

Delivery date pending for me still.

You wouldn't happen to have proof of that would you? Could be that it's been honoured as mine and probably many others is still the same status as when it was first ordered.

I think not. I don't think they would have the stock for the amounts that's probably been bought.

​Thanks for the response mate. I reckon this deal will be honoured. I purchased a 6TB (3TB WD Red x 2) WD My Cloud Mirror for £210 through Amazon lightening deal. This deal is around 50% more expensive for double the memory

Still £324 in app for me main site it's disappeared though.

It's been pulled.

I guess Amazon have finally reacted.

No change on the status of my order.

Nice find op. Fingers and everything else crossed that this is not cancelled. Ordered 2 :smiley:

Why has Amazon not fixed the price? do they not work on weekends?

Anyone got theirs yet? The status on my order changed to preparing for despatch.

Ordered, not sure if I really need it but at £27 a terabyte, it seems rude not too. I currently use a 2Tb external drive which I paid over £100 a couple of years ago to put it in perspective.

I'm looking for at least 1GB my Synology is with 512MB an it's often in red 80% zone when doing stuff (is that normal?) Idle around 30-40% often dust it fans are in low mode though i believe when I set it up 5 months ago. Manual for this says expandable up to 8GB.

my Synology only has 200GB something free (2x 2TB 1tb usable backing up 3 pc's 1 macbook).

OP here. Has been £324.23 since posting and temp OOS also. Cheers

Has it been £324.23 since this deal was posted or had it increased since yesterday? Did anyone order it while it was in stock or has it always been temporarily out of stock? Many thanks

Honestly, the usual home user 1GB is plenty. I have an old 219+ here just for backup that has 512MB RAM is barely goes over 50% of used memory.

According to the below site it does seem upgradable - the disassembly photos show the 1gb module:

http://qnapsupport.net/how-to-upgrade-the-memoryram-of-nas/?lang=en

Edit:

Here's the official hardware manual from QNAP:
http://eu1.qnap.com/Storage/TechnicalDocument/20160811-QNAP_Turbo_NAS_Hardware_Manual_EN.pdf

I see, can you upgrade them ram in this? As my Synology is with that awful 512MB or whatever an I find the Software so slow because of this but I doubt they'll ship this QNAP anyway :P

Spec wise QNAP is much better, depends on whether you'll be happy enough with the software though.

If they ship it (I doubt it) will it be a better than my current synology DS215j?

I would think it more likely they will just cancel rather than ship an item that is different than the one ordered, misprice or not they can't ship the wrong item and expect people to accept it :smiley:

I thought they would have been cancelled by now as well. Maybe we might get lucky or it could just be the enclosure with no drives. We'll have to wait until they get stock in.

Who downloads it anymore?

#1 Best Seller In Network Attached Storage.

Yeah.

That doesn't bode well...

now £324

£906.22 now

Are you comparing the TS251+ price vs the TS251, one of which is dual core and the other quad with more memory?

Thought our orders would of been cancelled by now.

If you don't know why not then this isn't for you :laughing:

This isn't the TS251+ its the old TS251 with 1GB RAM

You couldn't have bought the 453a 4G for £306 on amazon as its never been £306 ever on there.
:wink:

Anyone know how good the indexing of media files is on these things. Constantly frustrated by clients not being able to see all of my several thousand photos on my Windows homeserver

Gone up to #4 best seller. Is it a holiday in India?

God damn it let me hope Socks! :smiley:

This isn't the + model. This is the previous one.

Head-to-Head: Synology DS216+ versus QNAP TS-251+ 2-bay NAS
http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Feature/418094,head-to-head-synology-ds216-versus-qnap-ts-251-2-bay-nas.aspx

"So in terms of hardware and performance, the TS-251+ obviously has the advantage. We’re still not quite as impressed in the interface – even though it appears to basically mirror Synology’s, it’s not quite as polished. However, when it comes to sheer performance and extra hardware features, the QNAP leads by a long way."

If the OP hasn't have put it on here a few might have done.

Sadly way too many orders now for Amazon not to batch cancel.

Here's the camelcamel chart that normally accompanies these kind of deals.

Ah ok fair enough. This is my first experience with this but I'm just hoping as I got my order in within a few minutes of it going live it might slip through. One can hope. :wink:

The 600 degrees heat and the fact I've had 3 mispriced NASs canceled by Amazon in the past.

I've ordered.

But no way do I expect it to be honoured.

I think it will arrive without drives, the bare nas sells at around £300 :wink:

Various other deals in the past have been honoured so what makes you so sure?

You do all realise Amazon are going to cancel this right?

Why, oh why, did I log on this morning :O(

Iv ordered as 6tb we reds are currently £219 each from Amazon. I remember getting a desktop last year which was super cheap for the spec. Took about 3 months but the order was fulfilled.

I wonder why they have not pulled the deal or corrected the price

Additionally, more than one backup is always advised. 2x local and 1x cloud in my case.

What were you expecting inside an NAS?

Did you try appeal through Amazon A-Z?

I have this NAS, it's really good and super quick. However the feature to play video from HDMI isn't very good. I found the videos to play quite choppy due to a low powered Linux distro running. Play it over the wifi and it's so much easier and much faster.

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE THE SUN, yeah it's 8:53 am the best I could come up with.

Ordered 2 haha thank you poster!

What do these typically sell for? got to find a plus point if it ships as I might have my gentleman vegetables cut off for this one :confused:

Do what I do, tell her it was a bargain

voted hot for price.
But i hate these NAS devices due to HDD's in them.. For those who want cheap, buy a usb3.0 caddy from ebay. Reuse the old disks or buy an SSD and use "rsync" to copy and syncronise.

Many reasons i will give a few.

1. Try streaming a 4k uncompressed video over the internet.

2. Backing up home videos and pictures rather than trust cloud based storage sites.

3. Local backup costs a lot less than cloud storage per TB imo.

Not everyone wants to have their data stored in "the cloud" (no such thing as the cloud, it's just your data on someone else's computer!).

Why would anyone want a NAS these days when everything is stream-able over the internet?

QNAP vs Synology?

Been keeping an eye on the synology a while.

Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available

OOS:{

Don't need but could do with the drives, but want want want.... £300 urggh...

​Divide the cost everything you buy on HUKD by 2, keeps it consistent.

Now how do I tell the wife I just spent £300+ on something I don't need ???

happens a lot,

things like the Oppo HA-1 and similar Marantz gear...every now and then a 3rd party selling these for around £500 appears lol

I received 453A 4G enclosure alone for £306.
Hard drives alone are more thqn £300 here so unlikely this will be honoured.

Don't need it, can't afford it, bought it!

Guess it must've gone out of stock, it was definitely showing as £91.43 when I posted. Definitely makes this NAS an incredible deal.

The price gets corrected upon getting to the checkout. Would've otherwise been a fantastic buy.

Hi, Chatted with Amazon via live-chat on 4-5 occasions over the last 3-4 days to make them aware of high value items being sold by scammers and they do not seem to be that interested - This is quite surprising. The only thing they say is that their Seller Services will be made aware of the issues and that's that. Asked them this-aft' what their policy is and they said they do not have a policy on rewarding customers who let them know of hacked accounts. You'd think they would be interested and grateful. They seem to be neither. Shocking.

Was about to point this out as an obvious misprice, but Amazon are also selling the 6TB WD Red drives that are in it for £91.43 too!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Internal-Hard-Drives/Desktop-Disk-Intellipower-SATA-64MB-Cache-Inch/B00LO3KR96

How do you report them though. I have made previous complaints about scammers offering 256GB SD cards before such thing existed (and at 32GB prices), but never received any response, let alone a reward. The marketplace is becoming more like eBay with regard to these thieves. Don't even mention sponsored reviews!

Worth it for the disks alone.

Where is it saying that the drives only have 1-year warranty?

1gb ram.... that's low... and the chip, look at the new naps, a lot faster.

yeah just checked on eBay and it would cost a little less than 575 to make this up. a fraction of the 900 they originally asked for

Not sure, but this NAS looks to have been discontinued so they might be getting rid of old stock. Also the drives will only have 1 year warranty vs the 3 year with retail drives.

niice
whats the chances this gets cancelled

They dont hide that info they clearly list it on the QNAP specification list on QNAPs website. This NAS also comes with 2x free camera licences.

This is now ranked the #10 best seller in computers on amazon.co.uk up from #17,334. You would have though that would have raised a few eyebrows.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/movers-and-shakers/computers/

Amazon for things like this do tend to fulfill the offer. I bagged the Netfeat Ready Nas 8TB deal a
Couple of years ago. Was about £300 instead of £800. Even then it was out of stock. 5 weeks later I got a 4 bay NAS with 4x2TB drives installed.
So you are in for a good shout here.

It's an Amazon deal posted by Frank, no way will they be honouring it.......................................










.......................... unless you ask Frank for a voucher code











.................. let the pm flood begin :smiley:

hdbtwvd :wink:

Qnap's are way better than synology this a no brainier.. I only want the drives

So affordable!

Just ordered 3 great find

If this has WD Red install each disk alone is over £200 -

*edit*
Saw it has, ordereed one!

bagged one, (if it will ever come into stock) notice though it's back to over £900, with stock.

I have a QNAP nas with 6tb connected to my TV already, but at this price I had to try and get another

Ordered this morning but sure this won't be fullfilled so ordered a Synology DiskStation DS916+ 8GB to replace my DS214+

ordered :smile: legs crossed...
I have 4k Sony Android TV, wondering does it have any update to support 4k transcoding !!
I seen only the 251A can transcode 4K(30fps)

"gotta be in it to win it"

+1 replaced my ts212p cause it's a heap of ****. Seller wouldn't accept a return either

ordered even though I don't need one :smiley:

I made my own and installed openmediavault I use it for cctv, plex,websites, transmission, sonnar and installed next cloud to it as well its on 24/7 and love it. Still went in for this one just because its too good to true but worth a shot.

I haven't used a qnap device before but imagine its a lot easier to use as its all pre installed for you and most things these days have tutorial walkthroughs on youtube or google as well as forums.

If there is a will there is a way.

feeling lucky, so ordered.
Waiting for the cancellation email from Amazon when they realise what they have done!

Yes of course

Sorry, one more question - it says to connect to router but could this be via a powerline adapter?

Everything is accessible via its inbuilt control panel, I use mine for monitoring my cct ip camera as well. given the fact you can set on off timers they are really cheap to run

Thank you, I'm not 57 myself but will give it a go! :smiley:

Easy to use. Some people struggle to use a phone, I am 57 and find it a doddle to use

I must confess I haven't got a NAS yet and am very tempted by this. I use external HDs at the moment and this would be much better. The only thing that puts me off is one or two of the reviews saying its fairly 'techie' to use.

Is that what people's experience is too or is this being overstated a bit?

Thanks

At this price you just have to go for it.

Comes with 2 x 6TB WD RED's :smiley: Hope this gets fulfilled.

Hopefully you'll all get them, I'm waiting for a few 8tb Seagate Ironwolf drives that Amazon listed not in stock for £199 each. It's been about 3 weeks now.

Can't comment on this NAS but I have the Symbology. Nice NAS but if you're planning to use the surveillance software for more than 2 IP cameras you need a separate (expensive) licence. They hide this info, only found out after purchase.

Ordered thanks

Very helpful thank you.

At this price who cares!

Would this do the same job as a Synology DS216J. Was looking at one of those as NAS but also to use to monitor a couple of IP cams. Are they pretty similar hardware wise?

It's gonna get very HOT in here! Nice spot, thanks for posting.

Fingers-crossed, Xmas comes early for a lot of you...

He has over 16,000 items for sale on Amazon, sold nothing in the last year and only 7 feedbacks, sounds iffy to me.
Nearly forgot, a very strange email address.

Incidentally the used one listed at £350 is a con.
There are multiple listings on Amazon for tech under this email address

Amazon's policy is to reward customers who alert them of fraudulent sellers, misprices, etc. with a Thank you voucher. Not many agents are aware of this (or they might pocket it themselves).

My friend PM'd me about this one. I couldn't resist at this price. Heat, thanks! Fingers crossed it is honoured.

Or even mention the word"glitch"

It happens on eBay too. Basically the seller's account has been hacked, they list as many items as possible to get enquiries before the account is shut. I try and report them whenever I see it.

You have to jump through hoops to report them, I spent 30 minutes trying to get a seller investigated for obvious fraud. There should at least be an option to flag suspicious listings, they must waste hours resolving them after the fact.

Bargain...

This really is a great deal if it goes through, thanks and fingers crossed.

Do you remember the previous 16tb buffalo nas for 150?

gone for it

This is £400+ of HDD's let alone the enclosure at £200+ a bargain if it goes through :smiley:

One description says TS-251-4G in the box, specs say 1GB RAM. Fingers crossed it's 4GB and gets fulfilled :smiley:

Ha ha ha.. Thanks buddy just a change for Christmas

Sorry vassy did`t recognise you, have a great weekend :smiley:

Well spotted OP, thank you later?

£689 on other Amazon page with more details https://www.amazon.co.uk/QNAP-Performance-Network-Attached-Storage/dp/B00RX1AHEI
No mention of installed memory so I don't know if this one comes with more installed or not.

does it not do 4k never had nas drive

Gone for it. Thank you OP. Fingers crossed!

Hi, Has anyone noticed the used like new listing from what seems to be a 'con artist' for this product offering?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00P4O2SMU/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

HDD shortage predicted, grab them while you can.

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ssd-hdd-shortage-nand-market,news-54328.html

Bigger drives and half the price, at £300 plus they may very well fulfil this order

I have the TS-253a so don't need one of these........ordered anyway

Got a 'delivery date pending' confirmation - if that means anything :smiley:

8TB Netgear ReadyNas 4 Bay there's one available for £450 seems like a bargain

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00BLFD3DE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480757679&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=netgear+readynas+314&dpPl=1&dpID=31YDW-BBK3L&ref=plSrch

nice find op, heat added :smiley:

OOS?

​this will be the 4th Amazon NAS misprice that they will cancel but no harm in trying. Irony is that you're more likely it will get fulfilled if you don't post it on here! The sudden surge in orders promts investigation

I do remember posting a NAS deal that was mispriced and Amazon fulfilled it, can`t remember if that was a Buffalo

Lot a porn

ordered two, thanks op

2 years ago from Amazon ...didn't fulfil the order :disappointed:

Heat, got one already, still ordered at this price, if they deliver at this misprice, well Happy Christmas y'all!!!

Heat

Can't wait for the first person to post that 'HUKD Misprice Bingo' picture.

Still 'ordered' :laughing:

Nice one, OP. Guessing this will be a misprice :-(?!

Excellent spot Frank :smiley: Heat added :smiley:
