RNDP6000-200 - diskless -200 version model. When can we buy?

Part of the confusion stems from the fact that when the RNDP6xxx-200 model replaced the -100 model, there was no 6000 diskless. However, customer demand prevailed and they started selling them that way several months later. But they have been available for a while.

Amazon has them for $970 selling them directly. They call it the ReadyNAS Pro 6 Unified. I don't know where the Unified came from, but it is the ReadyNAS Pro 6. They also have a listing selling it through Universal Mania for $934 with no shipping charge.

However, Newegg has it for $850 with free shipping. That is a very tempting offer. Very tempting indeed.

Edit update - Too tempting. BTW if you order it with a WD10EFRX its only $840 with free shipping.

The Amazon listing that comes up for a search on "rndp6000-200nas," as linked above, just says "RNDP6000" for the model number. Has anyone purchased that, and can you confirm you got the newer RNDP6000-200 model, not the original RNDP6000?

I prefer to buy from Amazon because of no hassle returns, should they make a mistake. But I'd like to avoid even having to go that far. :)

Well it's been the best part of a few years since the Pro 6 came out now so I doubt Amazon would still stock the old model. Anyway Amazon has a pretty good return policy, so in the highly unlikely event you got the Pro Business Edition rather than the Pro 6 you should be able to get it exchanged.

I have always had good service from Newegg as well as Amazon. Since Newegg had such a good deal, and paid me $10 to take a hard drive with it, I finally dropped the hammer and ordered a Pro 6 Diskless.

Besides, the predecessor model the RNDP6000-100NAS was the Pro, the current model the RNDP6000-200NAS is called the Pro 6. Most customers would not know the difference between a -100NAS and a -200NAS but the description of Pro vs Pro 6 is understandable.

Update - the Newegg price is back up and the WD disk promo is gone. Today the Pro 6 is back up to $1150 and the WD10EFRX is $120 or a total of $1260 for the items they shipped to me on Friday for $840. Thank you mcgroarty for asking the question, for if you had not, I would not have looked up the items. I hope you were able to jump on the good price as well.

Nice purchase PapaBear! You got it for a great price.

Yeah, I could no longer resist at that price. It was basically a 33% discount from their prices today (for Pro 6 and 1 drives), just five days later. I could not believe the price with the drive was $10 less than the price without the drive. It arrived last night, and damn it's a big box. Very well packed, but then my NVX and NV+ units were as well. I won't be able to set it up until Monday, I just have too much on my plate until then.

That's two I have stumbled onto. I got my NVX BE on a real deal too.
