Tried finding the terms for this deal as multiple electronic items are included but can't find the terms.

What I'm getting at is I want an NAS but not 4 bays would this Prime CC discount apply to any Synology NAS?

the cash back is based on what is charged to the card it says. here are the terms from the pop up


Prime Card Bonus Offer: Get 5% Back, and additional 10% Back on the amount charged to this card

if you shop on amazon frequently it's a no-brainer to have that card.

honestly the deal is "meh"

while we can expect to pay for sales tax now for almost all online purchases, the reason why this ends up being meh is that amazon is charging a whopping $547 for this, b/c they matched everyone else boosting the price higher leading up to black friday. so this special cash back offer ends up being diluted not just by the sales tax (which will be a factory going forward) but by the price being higher than what we've seen historically for this

on the positive side, if other retailers have boosted the prices for this leading up to black friday it means we should expect to see substantial deals on them. i'm hoping to see deals on 8bay ones

Yep. Unless you have price protection from your credit card, it's probably best to wait until BF to buy something like this. Even if the price ends up being the same at other sites you might be able to save on taxes.

It's an option you choose when you setup the file share. See https://www.synology.com/en-globa...y_NAS#t5_2

IF you're looking at this deal, you should also consider the 8tb drives for $106 after Prime Cashback card. I was actually going to post it, but someone already had:

https://slickdeals.net/f/13508881-western-digital-8tb-elements-desktop-hard-drive-ymmv-amazon-prime-card-15-cash-back-124-99

I already have the DS918+ (IMO, a great NAS), but was slapped with a wet noodle over using a Seagate SMR drive when I shouldn't have been such a doofus and gotten a PMR instead...

I got one of these as soon as they came out. Works great! Definitely get an SSD cache to improve performance.

If the price goes down within 30 days (Black Friday comes within that period) will Amazon adjust the price?

No Amazon doesn't provide price protection. However this is eligible for free returns, so you can return this and buy another one for a better price on BF.

FYI, it was the deal of the day back on July 17th for $467. Excellent NAS. Doesn't have killer hardware specs but DSM more than makes up for that.
