I would suggest trying to sell the hard drives separate from the QNAP. I would have a hard time getting excited about spending roughly $2,000 USD for only 8TB of storage (Seagate Desktop class drives). Synology devices are nice, but with XPenology available now, many users here just roll their own at a substantial discount.

As an example, I could build an inexpensive dual core Haswell machine with 8GB of RAM in a U-NAS case for around $450-$600 dollars for XPenology. Then I would still have $1,600 left for disks. HGST 4TB NAS disks with the current promo make them $165 each. Meaning that I can buy (9) 4TB disks, put one on a shelf as a cold spare and maybe have a few bucks left over. This would give me 32TB of raw space (with NAS class drives) or 24TB of RAID6 protected space.

I don't mean to be a downer, but I think you need to make this value proposition more appealing to have a chance at moving this along.

@rubylaser good idea there. BTW I edited your post to align with the brand of the NAS.

Geez, I was looking right at the QNAP box, but thinking about Synology. Thanks for editing my stupidity @Patrick .

Yup thats a fair point, this box was a customer request well outside of my normal purchasing (I'm more used to SSD based SANs) and I takte the point the value proposition is weird, just hurts me to break up new in box hardware =) Cheers for the advice =)
