World Backup Day NAS deals now live for 2023
Synology’s DS923+ NAS is one of the brand’s latest releases, and I’ve actually been testing this one out for the past few months. Debuting in December of last year, this model arrives with a 4-bay design that can house as much as 80TB of storage when deploying four 20TB drives. There’s even more modularity from the dual NVMe slots that enable hardware cache, as well as the optional 10GbE network card that can be swapped in. And while this model comes outfitted with 4GB of RAM out of the box, it can be upgraded to 32GB for the ultimate server experience. Best of all, you’ll be able to bring home all of those features for the best price yet.
Amazon is also currently offering the Synology DS220j 2-Bay NAS for $149.99. Normally fetching $190, you’re looking at a rare chance to save and at $40 off. This is matching the all-time low from Black Friday of last year, and beats our previous mention by $6. While this model originally sold for $170, the ongoing chip shortage raised the standard price, making today’s discount all the more notable for getting in on the always-on storage game without paying full price.
As one of the more entry-level offers in the Synology stable, its DS220j NAS arrives with two hard drive bays and support for up to 32TB of storage. Ideal for everything from configuring a routine backup server, playing around with smart home services like Home Assistant, and more, there’s a 1.4GHz processor and single Gigabit Ethernet port to deliver 112MB/s speeds.

Outside of our favorite options from Synology, there are some other NAS that are getting in the World Backup Day discounts. These offer different form-factors to the options above, delivering built-in storage right out of the box or more budget-friendly takes on the Synology formula.
- WD 16TB My Cloud EX2 Ultra: $500 (Reg. $650)
- QNAP TS-251D 2-Bay: $228 (Reg. $299)
- WD Diskless My Cloud Pro: $500 (Reg. $550)
Of course, you’ll then want to go check out all of the actual hard drive deals for a chance to save while decking out any of your new NAS with some actual storage. Most of the discounted models above come in diskless configurations, meaning you’ll have to supply your own hard drives. Though with the best prices of the year and some even landing at new all-time lows period, there hasn’t been a better time to outfit your setup with as much RAW or redundant storage as you need. Shop all of the best World Backup Day storage deals here after you’ve settled on which NAS is right for you.
