Hi Guys,

We have recently started to offer our NAS range with an option to buy it populated.
We have selected a few of the most popular and what we believe to be excellent NAS units and filled them with some of the best NAS Hard Drives on the market.

All the populated NAS units are built up by our Expert Technical Team to ensure that all build issues cause little inconvenience to yourself. Having them built by our team also means they are checked to be working so you do not have to worry.

The whole range is available un-populated as well if you already have the Hard Drives available.

Take a look below at the whole range and hopefully we have something for everyone. All the unit prices include the WD RED 1TB as standard but you have the ability to choose from the WD RED 1TB to 6TB, WD RED PRO 2TB to 6TB and the Seagate NAS 2TB and 3TB drive.

**All Hard drives can be changed if you wish to use other drives**

** If we have a NAS unit you would like us to populate please let me us know and we can get that arranged **

** THIS PRODUCT IS BUILT TO ORDER AND CAN TAKE 3-4 DAYS TO COMPLETE IN BUSY PERIODS **

The Synology 716+ (£339.95 in the post above) doesn't seem to be available unpopulated, is this something that can be added to the site?
 
Just arrived in stock so it will be available on line shortly. As soon as it is live I will message you the link.

Great, thanks! It's a very competitive price on the NAS, just a shame that there's no discount on the drives by buying them pre-populated (was looking at the 6TB WD Reds)
 
We have had a new addition to the NAS range. We have added the Synology DS216+ as a populated NAS or if you wish we do it as Unpopulated as well.
 
I have had the Asustor AS-202TE NAS with 2x3TB Western Red disks for just over a year now, I have been really impressed by the stability and flexibility of the Asus software. I used the Asus iOS apps to control the NAS and it has been a smooth experience.
The only downside is that the 202TE only supports XBMC Frodo and doesn't allow an install of Kodi. As the NAS has a HDMI output that supports up to 1080P not being able to upgrade to Kodi is a bit of a downer. If you just want a small home NAS setup then this unit is great value for money.
If you need virtualization and 4K output then you need to look further up the Asus range to the newer models such as the AS3102T.

I really think 2.5 Inch drives is the future of this technology, I suppose with 3.5 still being cheaper ....

Some nice prices in there.

Owned both a 213J and a 214J Synology over the past 4 years, we also use the 4/6 bay stuff at some of the small schools I work with, All of them have been amazing and I have no problem recommending anything of theirs.
 
Many of the titles in this thread say 'populated', but they aren't..

The ones that say populated have as default a 1TB Seagate NAS Drive which you can either add another one or select a different drive from the list. We then in house put the drives into the NAS unit and you then receive a populated NAS unit.

It does say in the title that they are built by our Technical team so they will arrive populated.
