QNAP NAS Community Forum

I had a pop up today saying someting like 10% off Ryzen Models from Qnap.
I paid little attention and flicked it.

Now I am interested in that sort of deal and can find no reference to it anywhere.

Was I dreaming ?

maybe it was at a nas sales website?..normaly qnap does not advertise any sales or pricing on their regular website

not saying that they don't run sales specials and incentives with certain retailers

Thanks - twice as good !!

quickly checked newegg and amazon.ca/.com

no sales promoted,that I can see

QNAP forum members located in the USA interested in this offer. If you can kindly provide me your contact info, we will contact you on how you can receive this offer.

I got even an Email from Qnap about this. In Dutch.
Yet, All the webshops around here still have the same price.
I really wondered about the timeframe.

If you are in the USA you can send inquiries about the promotion to danielfrancislyons@qnap.com.
We can then give you the discount for the promotion.

So it's a US only offer?
mmmmm

I am in the Philippines and have put it on my computer shop and their supplier. Will see what I get.

Interestingly I had asked for prices on 4 of the ryzen boxes a week ago.
Quoted from $200-450 more than Amazon! So 20% off might get me to US prices !

Hi Daniel, I tried emailing your danielfrancislyons@qnap.com address from Gmail it said address not found or cannot receive mail?

Thanks, AL

My apologies. I copied the wrong one.
danielfrancislyon@qnap.com is the right one. I added an s at the end of the first one I sent.

Does anyone else think this 20% off is due to new Ryzen models coming soon!

The reason given "to welcome the release of QTS 4.4.1 " - come on Mr Qnap!

I personally don't mind if that is the reason although and us would be nice..

This was looking very interesting until I saw the price of the units. The TVS-872XT is still much cheaper than the TS-877 even after the discount and then you still have to factor in a 10G card not to mention a video card if you want to do some serious transcoding.

Am I missing something here?

They are both good boxes and have pro's and cons.

First off the base TS-877 with the Ryzen 5 1600 is about 30% faster CPU wise than the i5 in the TVS-872xt (based on passmarks) so for VM/Docker/etc. usage it will scale better.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/In ... 3260vs2984 .

And since the i5 is the fastest model in the x72xt line, the Ryzen 7 1700 version x77 are even bigger in their CPU advantage. I ran for quite a while my TS-877 box w/o using HW Transcoding for Plex and the CPU is beefy enough to handle Transcoding w/o it (although now that Plex supports NVidia based transcoding).

The TS-x77 family expands to 64GB of memory vs. 32GB in the TVS-x82xt family. It also has 1 more PCIe slot (although a 10Gb card would take that).

Again they are both good boxes, and have pro's/con's (depending on use case) over the other.

I really doubt you'll see a TS-x77 model with a Zen 2 3600 or 3700 soon, the QNAP site still hasn't updated the specs about them having the 2nd Gen Ryzens.
