If you are interested in setting up your own private cloud at home, and even your own Netflix using Plex Media Server, you are in luck with this offer that we have available on Amazon. Synology is one of the most popular brands in NAS servers, and one of the most recommended, however, their models are generally somewhat more expensive than those of the competition, but their operating system is rock-stable. Today we have a really interesting offer both on the NAS and on the built-in hard drives. Do you want to know how much you can buy the Synology DS920+ with 48TB?
Main features
This NAS server incorporates a powerful Intel Celeron J4125 processor, it is a Quad-Core at 2.0GHz speed and with a built-in hardware encryption engine, in addition, it also includes hardware transcoding, so that services such as Plex Media Server work perfectly for you. This NAS comes with a total of 4GB of DDR4 RAM, but it can be expanded up to 8GB of DDR4 RAM if you’re going to virtualize operating systems or use Docker intensively.
This NAS server incorporates a total of four bays to house 3.5” hard drives, in addition, we have the possibility of installing a Synology expansion unit to have even more storage. Other very important features related to storage, is that we have 2 integrated M.2 2280 NVMe slots, with the aim of using these units as SSD cache and accelerating the reading and writing performance of the NAS server.
Regarding connectivity, we have 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports for the LAN with support for Link Aggregation, we also have 2 USB 3.0 ports and, finally, an eSATA port.
Synology’s operating system is one of the manufacturer’s strengths, an operating system that is very fast, intuitive and that allows us to install a large amount of additional software, both from Synology and any other third-party service. We can use the virtualization of operating systems and we even have the possibility of installing Docker to enjoy hundreds of services running on this computer.
This NAS server is one of the most recommended for home and small office environments, generally the price of this NAS server is around €600-€700 approximately (without disks), then we have to add the cost of the disks.
Amazon’s offer is second to none
At Amazon we have an offer for this Synology DS920+ NAS server with four Synology HAT5300 hard drives of 12TB capacity each, so we will have the server as well as a total of 48TB of storage. The sale price of this equipment is less than €1,200, as you can see here:
The usual price of this NAS server is about €600-€700, plus about €500 for each 12TB hard drive, so the real price of this equipment is approximately €2,600, and we have it for less than half, so it is a bargain that you can not avoid buying. A very important aspect is that it is managed and shipped directly by Amazon, it is not a third-party product but directly from Amazon.
Without a doubt, with this offer we will miss services like Netflix very little, since we will be able to enjoy Plex locally and see all the multimedia content we want.
