Whilst the Synology DS1019+ is far from the cheapest NAS, and this is also not the cheapest price it's been (eg $891.65 in November 2019, I've had my eye on one for ages and finally bit the bullet.
At face value, it looks to be cheaper at MWave and Computer Alliance for $1,019, but the Amazon AU price of $1,031.95 is delivered, and you can use the 5% Cashrewards/Shopback to get $47 off, and you can also stack with discounted Amazon AU gift cards from Suncorp Benefits and recent deals from Australia Post, etc… In my case, I ended up paying $1011 for the discounted egift cards from Suncorp Benefits and then got $47 cashback, so net $964 delivered.
Thanks to Munnday for pointing out UMart has this for $999 + delivery.
Why are these so expensive? I've been looking at one as I need storage for my Plex Server. Will this replace my server or is it literally just for the storage. It's mind boggling that it cost $1k for something that holds a few HDD's and is accessible over my network. Surely I'm missing a key point here?
