Just heard that some of Synology's NASs are on sale at B&H: Website: $161.99 DS223j (2 bays) $509.99 DS923+ (4 bays) $899.99 DS1821+ (8 bays) Just add whatever drives you want. FYI, I think the last one is the one that Scott had mentioned. FYI, these are 'very good' prices, but not quite 'best ever'. For example, the lowest I've seen on the 923 has been $480 ($30 less). -hh
