Sorry, might not have been clear. I want to sell the drives and keep the NAS. I already have 3TB WD RED's I got from the Tesco deal. Just looking for a NAS to stick them in. Was going to go Microserver + Xepenology, but advantage with this would be official updates (and possibly free if selling the drives will cover the initial outlay).

Just had an email from Amazon saying this is back in stock - for £850 - from a just launched 3rd party seller. Yeah - no thanks! :smile:

Guess it makes sense to stick with Synology then.
I've decided to grab a HP Gen 8 and run Xpenology and either pfsense/openvpn appliance on VM's. Figure I can swap out the processor for one with AES-NI and get good throughput for openvpn remote access. Plus have the option of using the 5th bay for expansion.

Why the Play? Cheapest I've seen is around £370. The QNAP TS453A seems better value though at about the same price.

I suspect someone from Amazon followed this thread and cancelled the 2nd round orders as it is too expensive for them to source the product with hard drives...

Unfortunately, we’ve had to cancel your order for the Synology DS415+/24TB-RED (4 x 6 TB) 24 TB Network Attached Storage (B00R3S6ROA) as this item has been discontinued. You haven't been charged for this item.

Good detailed observation! Moreover I think it should come with drives as the non-drive ones are listed as "enclosure" without mention of storage space.No email yet so hope to get it delivered oO

I looked at the weight of things before putting my order, the listing says it's 6KG A standalone Synology DS415 on Amazon says it weighs 2.5KG. (so there's some extra weight in it) The HDDs weigh 753 grams. So 2.5KG plus 4xHDD @ 753grams

Anyone noticed the description for 'This Item' under 'Compare to Similar Items':
Data Transfer Rate —\x09 Hard Disk Size —
The other ones (with drives) all show data transfer rates and hard disk size. This one doesn't. Are Amazon going to get out of this by shipping just the NAS I wonder?

Damn you're quick of the block. I better get those 6TB Reds on eBay now, before fellow HUKDers flood the market and cause a price crash.

£40 not £50 and it can be cancelled If it breaks they will replace or give Amazon vouchers. Not sure if the 3 year warranty applies to drives bought like this - don't know either way I figured £40 was reasonable
Mentos
25 Apr 17#37
Well it is EOL. The 916+ (2GB version) is essentially the new version of the 415+ and I believe the 417/917 is due out this year. But I think it's wishful thinking the price is a genuine clear out price due to the 4 x 6TB WD Red drives. They certainly aren't EOL and currently retail at over £200 each.

Is it possible that its end of line product and they was simply clearing out , and doing the same for incoming stock..

On a positive note, its ideal if you want to purchase something thats an add on that you need to spend £20, just add it to the basket with one of these misprices

no doubt , if one person has received a cancellation email its only a matter of time .

Won't the drives come with WD 3 year warranty anyway? If so you're just getting 1 year extra warranty on the NAS for the extra £50.

I have re-ordered with the 3 year protect, £605 in total. I figured it was worth it given the circumstances and it looks pretty good cover.

Sorry can't remember. Didn't seem to understand at first, but eventually managed to explain the price was still the same as previous order they'd cancelled due to "pricing error". Then went away for 10 mins to check and came back assuring me this order wouldn't be cancelled.

I've decided to grab a HP Gen 8 and run Xpenology and either pfsense/openvpn appliance on VM's. Figure I can swap out the processor for one with AES-NI and get good throughput for openvpn remote access. Plus have the option of using the 5th bay for expansion.
A standalone Synology DS415 on Amazon says it weighs 2.5KG. (so there's some extra weight in it)
