Amazon is offering the QNAP TS-130 1-bay NAS for $118.20 shipped. Down from $139, this beats the previous best deal that we’ve seen by an additional $11 to mark a new all-time low at Amazon. While most NAS devices leverage multiple drives for RAID, this model ditches that function for a more budget-friendly design. Essentially, this NAS takes a single hard drive or SSD and makes it accessible on your entire network with simple setup. You can use this NAS for storing photos, videos, and other media or documents with ease. There’s a Gigabit Ethernet port and you can also add to its storage capabilities with a USB expansion enclosure with the onboard USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. Keep reading for more.
If you don’t need the networked portion of today’s lead deal, then consider instead picking up the WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive. It comes with a 4TB drive pre-installed, which means it’ll work out of the box as soon as it arrives. Just know that the $97 price tag only comes with USB connectivity, meaning the drive will have to be plugged into your computer for it to work.
Do you need portable storage? If so, consider picking up SanDisk’s all-metal dual 1TB USB-C flash drive that’s on sale for an Amazon low of $100. It won’t bring network connectivity, nor is it designed to be plugged in 24/7 like a desktop hard drive. However, it does pack 1TB of storage and fit on your key ring, making it the ideal solution for on-the-go file backups.
