Description:
Up for sale is a Synology DiskStation DS1817 8-bay NAS, fully populated with 8x Toshiba 16TB hard drives — 128TB of raw storage capacity. This unit was pulled directly from my server rack after being decommissioned; it is no longer needed but has no known issues and was running trouble-free right up until removal.
Why this is a great buy:
This is a business-grade NAS platform, not a consumer toy. With 128TB of enterprise-class Toshiba drives already installed, you're saving significant time and money compared to buying the enclosure and drives separately — just rack it, configure your RAID, and go.
NAS Specs (Synology DS1817):
- 8-bay 3.5"/2.5" SATA drive enclosure
- Quad-core 1.7GHz processor (Annapurna Labs AL-314)

Included Drives:
- 8x Toshiba 16TB hard drives (enterprise/NAS-rated)
- All drives fully functional, no reported errors
Condition:
Used, pulled from active rack service. No issues encountered during operation. Power cable included.
Why I'm selling:
Downsizing my home lab/rack — this unit is simply more capacity than I currently need.
Feel free to ask any questions before offerding/buying.
