discussion Want to Sell QNAP 659 Pro+ / 6x 2TB Seagate LP hdd

[jtktam]

I continue I get ridiculous lowball offers

no it's not $60 shipped when it cost at least $10 to have it shipped
no I don't care if you have cash in hand, you can't have it for $500
no I can't take $600 for the nas and the drives, when it cost more than that in drives alone

don't waste both of our time, there is no such thing as "doesn't hurt to try"

i figure this is an enthusiast forum and you would be more in tune with pricing, while I understand everybody is trying to get a bargain, realize that the listing is already a very good deal to begin with please

To answer a question concerning the Seagate LP compatiblity with the qnap..

the ones I am selling at the SATA2 versions of the Seagate LP drives.. they are on the compatiblity list for QNAP.. the newer ones (which I linked to for price comparision) is SATA3 and is NOT compatible with the QNAP, they have reported drop out issues and spin up / spin down issues..

i have used these SATA2 version drives for the whole year without any issues, they work wonderfully.. hence why I wanted to sell it as a bundle so that the buyer don't have to figure out which one they need to get

I think that you are getting lowball offers because you are asking people not to send you lowball offers. It's a natural human reflex I guess... after reading your posts complaining about lowball offers publicly, I'm tempted to send you a lowball offer myself just for the giggles to annoy you and I wouldn't even buy it if you accepted. But I won't do that... just saying.

of all the stuff i sell on here, most of them are already 40-50% off what i paid for them and most of them are fairly new

if people feel for giggles (like you) just send me some lowball offer for fun of it, you just ruined it for the other people who benefit from the stuff for sale

i am tempted to say forget it to hwc fs forum and just donate this stuff to the local non profits and get a tax receipt.. don't need the hassle of immature people wasting everybody's time

No further discussion of offers is needed. If you have a sale-related question for the seller, post it. Otherwise, don't thread crap.

Have you got any real world examples of its throughput using 1 or 2 gblan ports? I currently have a usb 4tb backup and the file transfer time kills me.

Have you got any real world examples of its throughput using 1 or 2 gblan ports? I currently have a usb 4tb backup and the file transfer time kills me.

my layout:

my machine = z68 mobo, dual seagate drives in mirror, crucial M4 running in cache mode..

my machine -> dlink gigabit 8 port -> cisco smb 24 port gigabit switch -> dlink gigabit 8 port -> qnap

to the 659 pro+ with the Seagate LP drives (5900 RPM) i get about 80 MB/s transfer speed
to my 859 pro+ with the Seagate drives (7200 RPM) i get about 90 MB/s transfer speed

in both units I am running raid 6 (dual parity, so I can lose up to two drives before I lose data)

comparision to usb 3.0 i get about 50-55 MB/s at most..

the 2gb link aggregated is only good if both ends are link aggregated, since my PC is only 1gb, 90 MB/s is already maxing out 99% utilization. BUT.. 2gb on the nas end will allow other people to still access the nas while I max out my connection..

just did some file copy using robocopy:

from my old 659 (5700rpm drives) to the new 859 (7200rpm drives), via my computer

i think if you do a nas->nas copy using the built in shell, you will get a better throughput but i wanted to maintain the windows security info, etc.. so i did it via my computer
