Was waiting for a decent Black Friday deals for Synology DS920+ NAS.
Was able to score it for $716.20 using three different offers (Ozbargain style:)
EbayPlus 20% $1029x0.8=$823.22
Shopback 10% Cashback=-$823.22x0.1=$82.32
Giftcard 3% discount=-$823.22x0.03=$24.70
Final=$823.22-$82.32-$24.70=$716.20
Please note this is the cheapest price I can find globally till date :)
As per Cashback T's and C's
"Cashback is valid when gift cards are used as a payment method"
You know normal GCs can be used as credit cards and eBay GCs are just voucher codes right?
ah. didn't know that. cool
$789 + shipping at SE https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/synology-diskstation-… if you don't have eBay Plus/Shopback
Even with ebayPlus ($49) I think ebay deal is better I guess, saving of about $51 over shopping express
Thanks OP. Placed an order!
Thanks OP. I got one too.
Good machine, recommended.
Mine was a bit flaky from factory, a reinstall fixed it good as new (heh).
Can this handle 2160p video files through Plex?
Thanks for the link!
Guess i'll need to make my own htpc
What does 0TB 4GB mean? Is it 0TB or 4GB? Or 0TB storage with 4GB/s read?
4GB Ram
0 TB = Diskless, you need to purchase hard disk separately
Pretty sure it's 0TB of storage (BYO disks), 4GB RAM.
Can you tell me how you get $689?
EbayPlus=$1029x0.8=$823.22
cashback=-$823.22x0.1=$82.32
Giftcard discount=-$823.22x0.03=$24.70
Final=$823.22-$82.32-$24.70=$716.20
i think he just assumed to add up all discount 33% =20%+10%+3%
Mine was approximate math, I agree yours is correct.. will update it
The 10% cashback offer has just finished at 10pm anyway. Bummer.
LOL, I was doing the same math
wow selling out quickly again.
That's what ozbargains uses to run this site, 😂😂 someone will feel but hurt by that.
$689.43 using ebayPlus + Shopback Cashback 10% + 3% discounted Shopback ebay gift card
how do you get $689.43?
in total = ($823.20-$82.32-$24.69) = $716.19
I could be wrong but please prove it, it's a long day for me! :P
You are absolutely right mate. Updated post. Shopback 10% discount however is just finished
dang! $716.19 saved!
better price $789+$13 shipping(for me) = $802

(FuTu is $823.20 without the shopback 10%)
This one has one Ram slot and plastic case, is this right?
Definitely has extra 1 RAM slot. Not sure about plastic case..
Don't forget a UPS, the CyberPower Systems are on sale @ Amazon!
I am yet to experience any power outage since I arrived in Australia 8 years ago so I think I will pass UPS.
I have instead bought 1TB Kingston ssd for ssd caching
Well lucky for you, we've had a couple so far in 2020, not big ones…One was apparently a possum in a junction box somewhere during the cooler months. Plus the bushfire season will be upon us soon and that usually brings in a couple of brownouts on an average.
I'm guessing you're new to NAS and RAID :) Which is OK, we all start somewhere.
Best of luck!
Yep I am noob with regards to NAS. Don’t even know what all it can do , lol
Trying to find it now ..😊
It is recommended that you turn off write caching if you decide to use SSD caching to prevent data loss in case of power outage. Oh wait. 😂
I think you're fine as it's a SSD cache, not an in memory cache (e.g. the cache on hardware RAID cards).
Although Synology won't let you use a single SSD for write caching anyway, it makes you use two in RAID1.
Any link?
This is the one I use, you get a good 15 - 20 mins which is more than enough for a proper shutdown auto-configured via USB.
You can even throw in a home router, extra points if your NBN came with a battery pack :)
The Synology units are well worth the asking price. We have 5 of them between different members of the family, and we're yet to have a failure with heavy use. My 2012 model has been going strong for 8 years with constant use.
Been waiting for this for a while. Picked one up. Thanks.
Looks like CA will have a few Synology models for blackfriday sale 20% off 2morrow? Maybe cheaper than this if they dont jack the price
CA ? Computer Alliance
This model is out of stock with them
yep. u right.
Shopback 10% discount has expired
If you're up for living without an Australian warranty, B&H has them for ~$721 AUD shipped ($531USD including shipping and import duties).

was planning to get a ds720 but price is very close to this one so i bought the 920plus. thank you OP.
Any recommendations on what disks to buy would be appreciated.
WD elements 12/14TB seems to ozbargain favourite for NAS.
I got 14tb when it was on $299 deal just recently

Did you use gift card as payment method or via voucher code? if latter case, i don't think it qualifies. And I don't think 10% would apply to the original price.
You might end up getting $798.50 which is still decent price.
