      To be fair to op, the stores listed do not include postage in their prices, I tried a few and the shipping costs to Perth range $33-48.Therefore Amazon has the lower price overall.
      Insufficient quantity to be a deal post however…

    I'm wondering what the difference is between this and just building a system with a Ryzen 4000 APU? The "GE" variants are designed for low power draw, and you get enough SATA bays and more compute power (I think?). It may need a network adapter though.

      Software.
      Absolutely you get better value with building your own; but synology software and apps are really easy to use and makes it just so much more accessible.

      Years ago I also thought about this. I was running a freenas on a Core 2 duo and figured it would destroy all these prebuilts

      But after using the synology at a mate's, I took the plunge and grabbed one myself and ever since have only ever upgraded with more synologys.

      Edit: But I agree with the other poster. This price isn't actually anything special.

      • Void on 14/08/2020 - 15:26

        Personally I'd just use a different OS since I'm more technologically inclined but I can see how it can be easier for those who don't want to waste their time messing with software.

      • ozb88 on 14/08/2020 - 15:29

        There is something nice about having the software and hot swappable bays. Although these days with solutions like FreeNAS/Unraid - the software is just as good if not better.

      • diamondd on 14/08/2020 - 15:33

        this argument was more applicable years ago. The usability of FreeNAS has improved and OpenMediaVault and Unraid are pretty idiot proof for the most part.

        if you know how to build a PC it's no great leap to get the software side up and running.

        you could put together a 3200G based system for about $700 without hard drives at the moment.

        • kiitos on 15/08/2020 - 22:18

          Could you list the parts you'd use for such a system? I'm keen to see what a DIY solution should look like. I'm keen to have a server for NAS that I could also run docker containers and maybe VMs on, without being too power hungry like my desktop PC so I could leave it on all the time.

      I'm wondering what the difference is between this and just building a system

      For me building system which is small in size (physical size) is difficult (probably impossible).

      • Void on 14/08/2020 - 15:36
        +3

        I agree on size. How tf are you supposed to get 6 drive bays in something so small without wizardry?

        • jace88 on 14/08/2020 - 16:09

          IMO it just looks good. I know it's not good value vs building your own, but there is something nice about how they fit it all together, and then the software/apps/etc all work pretty well for me (note: I have a smaller 5 bay DS1019+).

  • Buz1986 on 14/08/2020 - 18:44

    This one or the 8 bay from Skycompy for $1393+delivery…. hrmmmm

    it's great for seeing Synology deals, keep up the good work!

    sadly this price is more expensive than some local PC retailers…

  • cerealJay on 14/08/2020 - 21:16

    Time to backup my backups of my backups.

  • MOMEHT on 14/08/2020 - 21:57

    What would be a QNAP equivalent and would it be better or worse?

    • norkle on 15/08/2020 - 08:56

      QNAP would have 6 bays, be simkilaly priced and offer much the same. They are very similar, and lead the pack in this area of price/performance.

      The main difference is if you're migrating from another NAS - if you already have Synology or QNAP you're likely to stay with them, as you can drop the disks from old into the new (you do take backups right?)

      • MOMEHT on 15/08/2020 - 17:15

        Thank you norkle! I have a 6 year old 6-bays QNAP TS-670 and I love it. However time has come to upgrade it to a more powerful server (and to retire my current one as a back-up in some other place). Of course, I will continue with QNAP brand. My question was rather related to finding the equivalent model in QNAP lineup. I must admit I am a little bit confused with a wide varieties of different models on QNAP site. Especially with the ones with a mixture of SSDs and HDDs. I have no idea how to organize RAID on these…

        • norkle on 15/08/2020 - 18:56

          For now, spinning disk is the high capacity raid option. But increasingly ssd provides a great write cache and keeps write throughout high.

          Perhaps if you posted on a recent qnap bargain or the forums, you'd find other users?

        • SickDmith on 16/08/2020 - 23:21

          I believe TS-x53B is similar to this Synology although I didn't compare CPU and RAM.

          But if I start looking into QNAP I would check new TS-x53D Series first.

          • MOMEHT on 17/08/2020 - 23:29

            @SickDmith: Thanks a lot, I'll have a look at these models.
