The end of the year is now nearly upon us which means Christmas is right around the corner too. As such, end-of-the-year sales are starting to go live and we noticed some great deals on some QNAP NAS ( Network Attached Storage) models. We are covering these because we see quite a few readers of ours have older NAS units or Plex machines who tend to upgrade their CMR-based hard disks.
The TS-x53D 2.5GbE NAS series from the company, which launched back in 2020, is selling for nearly half price now. The above image is that of the TS-253D-4G which is the two-bay 4GB memory model.
