Looking to buy a nas storage system and hard drives
User is asking for recommendations and experiences regarding purchasing a NAS storage system and hard drives for personal use.
Looking to buy those items for personal use has anyone brought those items and what was your experiece?
not a place to look for this kind of thing promise you
Why buy from Alibaba? Stick to Amazon
Alibaba is for B2B, not for consumers. If you want to buy 200 NAS devices then sure, otherwise look elsewhere, especially for storing data that you believe to be critical enough to consider a NAS.
Wrong. You can always get a sample.
Sure you can, but do you want to trust your data to a single sample NAS you bought off Alibaba? Also, by the time you pay for shipping and customs on the sample it will be nearly what it would cost on Amazon (if not more) but will take way longer to get to you and if you have any type of issue with the unit, forget trying to get it handled.
I am not arguing about pros and coins of buying no name SSDs. I am saying it is very possible and shipping options depend on the OP location.
Alibaba is NOT for personal use. it's also the wrong place to look for such items.
there are very few brands in that area. not difficult to find everything.
Wrong. You can always get a sample
contact Synology in Taiwan and ask for a sample ;-)
