Good contribution, well done
I have a two year old NAS box running and would not be without it. Ok it's not an Asustor, it's a Synology but regardless of this, it's a great unit to have. I can access my movie and music anywhere I want to. Great if I am away with work or on Holiday and I want to watch a movie, just stream with one of the countless apps.
I Use it as a download box so I can turn my PC Off. It integrates with my news hosting client with ease.
Take Photo's and uploads to the NAS AND the cloud with absolute ease. NAS can have a pretty steep learning curve but they are well worth having.

RMA to here for the first year, the rest I am unsure.
My mistake I should have said Compared to a N54L with £100 cash back.
I run synology on my N54L I have also owned a Ds211j.

Ah yes, well when you consider that then i agree they may look a little expensive but all NAS will do.
For what you get, the ease of use and how you can almost cut out the media centre under tv and use these instead makes them a very good proposition indeed

The sales info says 512mb, if it's 1gb then the customer gets a nice surprise no need to amend to 1gb and get it wrong. We will soon know when they are in

I have reviewed both the 6 series and 3 series over on my site if anyone is interested. HERE
I love the 3 series I currently have setup. Transcodes to plex on my ipad nicely.
Very competitive price/spec balance. Although relatively new they are catching up fats in terms of apps and features.

Most are coming in this week, a fair few came in last week. As for stock, just order what it is you need and itll arrive with you the day after we receive which is likely end of this week

Can you say for sure that the 8 bay one will be in this week?
I'll need it for Friday, Saturday at the latest.
I have seen them in stock elsewhere but they are a few quid cheaper here.

Give the sales team a call, they will be able to obtain an eta from me and then you can decide if you need to make the purchase or not. Need to get the call pre-11 though, my contact is in Taiwan who I shall be mailing.

So call someone to ask you to get an ETA?
Why don't you just post it here??

Because I need to get the ETA there and then. Posting that there is one in stock in the hub coming here for X date, you waiting until later in the day to order it and then myself placing a PO confirm for it for you to find out I have been beaten to the punch will only provide me with a disgruntled customer - you. Id rather I had a happy one
