Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation DS918+ (Diskless) $524.99 Shipped via Amazon

$524.99
+6 Deal Score
14,141 Views
Amazon.com dropped the price of the Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation DS918+ from the previous price of $549.99 down to $524.99. The last time that this NAS got a price drop was in November of 2018 so if you have been waiting for a deal on it now might be a good time to snatch one up.

I'd wait for an eBay 15% coupon and get it there instead. It'll be under 500 then.

You could do that if you want to buy from an unknown seller but if you prefer to buy from an official store (Amazon.com) backed by Amazon's return policy then its better then its better to buy it from Amazon in case something goes wrong within the first 1-2 months, I think Amazon gives customers like 90 days for returns?

Do people wanting this wait for $25? The difference in this deal vs MSRP is not even 10% so also it wouldn't even cover sales tax of any of the states in the USA.

I guess if you want that peace of mind, that's an option. Also Amazon do have Amex discounts to take advantage of that I've used in the past for the NAS as well.

Adorama via eBay is not an unknown seller

and they don't charge sales tax for much of the country

yeah $525 is a joke sale price

this could be had for multiple times in the $450's using the eBay coupon


also - soon after release, Newegg had this for $509.99 numerous times w/ coupon code

Well hopefully we see that price agian soon :-) but we might have to wait for black friday or something like that to get such a discount from eBay since typing in DS918+ into slickdeals search the last time it came up for a discount was November 2018.

It's not worth it. I have a 5 bay and tossed in a 10Gbe card, there's just not enough drives to really boost the performance enough, I went from 240Mb 1gbe bonded to 300Mb 10gbe.

Why is this about $100 more than the qnap ts-453be? I love my 453, and looking to add another nas.

I really am close to pulling the trigger on this one, but I'll wait a few months for Prime Day, when hopefully it'll go down in price or Amazon and Amex will have another promotion together.

I have this and have really liked it. So much so that I bought the Synology router and mesh add-on too.
