QNAP TurboNAS TS-659 Pro II

[Demon Cleaner]

Gonna probably buy it next week, I'm very close, 90% of me are fine with it

How much would you think I could sell my Qnap 659 Pro II with 6x2TB disks? I only find prices of the newer model, the 669 Pro, but it seems to be almost the same, and it is 900€, although the disks I have are not available anymore, but on my bill I can see that they were just 62€ anyway 2 years ago. My NAS was 1100€ with the delivery.

I could get the 2413+ here in Luxembourg for the same price like in the German online shop where I always order, but the disks are 7€/disk more expensive. I want to order 13 disks, to have one spare one from the start. I mailed the shop in Luxembourg if it would be possible to get a little discount on the disks, hopefully they will agree. On the other side, I wouldn't have to pay for delivery, as I could pick it up from there. Probably they also have everything on stock, so I could get it straight away, although they told me that it would be ready in 2-3 working days.

The other problem buying it online is, that I would have to send the money via bank transfer, as it will be almost 3000€, and my VISA limit is quite lower, and with the bank transfer, you never really have 100% guarantee, because if the money gets lost somehow, you're not really able to track it, and see if the seller didn't receive it or not, so I prefer to not use that method.

I would definitely go with the more local store where you can collect in person. I never do money bank transfers for the reason you said.. you have no guarantee for your money and no way to dispute or reclaim the money if anything went wrong. Plus with the local store you can take drives back if they fail (as most carry a 2-3 year warranty against failure).

That is definitely some serious money to spend on a NAS, but it's also some serious storage too. If you get it I would love to find out how you get on with it.
