To Anyone in the UK,
I have an old TS-853A (8 Bay NAS) that I have put TrueNASS Core on for sale. Its pickup only from Slough - this will not be posted under any circumstances

Specs:
  • TS-853A, 16GB RAM
  • 1*SSD (SATA), 100+GB (Can't actually remember) Boot Drive
  • 5*6TB WD Red Drives (SATA). All these drives are quite old - they are from pre SMR/CMR days and are CMR
  • No remote control - no idea where that went.
  • I will include the original QNAP boot eUSB device which I have removed, and found recently
  • 1Gb interface (4 of them)
  • Power Cord (Kettle Lead)
I used this for some time, then decomm'd the device and put the drives into my "drawer of doomed disks". Over time I have given away the 1TB, 2TB, 3TB and 4TB drives and now am left with a bunch of 6TB drives. All 5 HDD drives passed in the last week a full destructive badblocks with no errors. I used to boot this (when I used it in anger) from a NVMe drive in a USB adapter velcro'd to the side - but now its got a SATA SSD in bay 1

Power Use, when on and nothing happenning (but disks not spun down) = 53 Watts. Long smart test on all drives was 63 Watts

Price - Offers in the region of £300-00 seems fair to me

Well no-one seems interested. I'll see if someone on reddit wants it before ebay
