Hardware Bargains - Open Thine Wallet

[enerdude]

Yeah I'm in no rush to buy. Can wait for a bargain if there is one, hence why I posted here.

No bargains at the moment. But when there comes one up one has usually to jump fast before all is sold out, so have your cash handy Bargains aside, I still think that seagate 500gb I mentioned is a good deal - comes with a 10 year limited warranty

Until a factory burns down. Like what happened years ago with RAM or was that flooding.

Exactly and ssds also use memory - that will see ssd prices skyrocket

Hope you hadn't already paid, Raru takes weeks to process refunds, probably still do everything on paper ledgers over there...

After checking on an abacus?

I'm pretty sure they use the finest abacus with their leather bound ledger. They got salty with me when I had the audacity to ask what the hold up was after waiting for a week, they said refunds take 7-15 days to process and then up to a week after that to reflect.

Can't understand how a refund can take more than half a month.

I'm certain they're running some sort of short term loan scheme.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Pretty unprofessional and from all other angles they seem like a legit operation. There can be no other reason though, every other online store I've requested credit refunds from have processed them within 48hrs.

Will it be a good option for normal NAS?
not interested in the NVR features.

Don't think so.. this seems to run QVR as the OS, which looks to be the qnap based NVR software..

@Gtx Gaming, nothing on regular qnap NAS?
