ReadyNAS 600 deal

As a frequent contributor to COBA (Camera Owners of the Bay Area), I'd like to share the details of a special deal Adam Tow has coordinated: promotional pricing for the ReadyNAS 600 RAID box from Infrant Technologies. The ReadyNAS 600 is a gigabit NAS box that supports 4 Serial ATA disks, hardware RAID 0, 1 and 5, and wireless (optional). The deal is for COBA members only, but membership is informal and free.

Promotional configuration options are as follows:

$100 off - Barebones. You supply your own SATA drives.

Effective price: $695 retail (if available) - $100 = $595

$200 off - 4x250GB Western Digital RAID Edition drives

Effective price: $1395 retail - $200 = $1195

Normally, the ReadyNAS 600 in a driveless configuration is unavailable. More information about the deal can be found on the COBA website:

Please let Adam know that I referred you, as we are trying to track where everyone is hearing about this.

I have friends using this box, and it seems like a great way to get a lot of data on your network. I currently have a primary server (a proper machine), and will use this NAS box as the server's backup.

Hello

I wanted to purchase a ReadyNAS 600 and was wondering if anyone had purchased from www.eaegis.com?. They are offering a good deal on ReadyNAS 600 barebone as well as complete units with hard drives.

Sorry if this is an inappropraite palce to post

These guys seem to have the best deals. I picked mine up directly from Infrant, but I don't think they normally allow that.

The unit is working wonderfully. It's relatively quiet, and .. .just works!

Eirc thanks for the tip - tried them but it did nto get a response to my emails and did so from www.eaegis.com, and got a good deal as well. Got the ReadyNAS 600 with 1.6TB. Arrived on Monday, 8 August, 2005. Have also updated with the new firmware as well since, as this was launched on Sunday.

First impressions, l am pleased l got it!

Connected up to my Network and am testing it now seems to be purring away....

For other readers this is the link to the ReadyNAS 600, 1.6TB

They look really nice but 4 Disk is way to less. I gona upgrade my Linux Based Fielserver to 10x500GB Raid 5 Array = 4,5 GB and the Raid Controller has 6 Ports more. I just don't have enough space in the housing and the nice Chenbro housings are to expensive and loud :-(
