Hi, we're evaluating purchase of 3312 rack mount model, for a medium size gov company (from italy) and i would like someone explain why, in several ecommerce websites, there's so big price difference between model without harddisks and model with harddisks, from my point of view inconsistent if i search (and add) harddisks prices separately (for example n.12 6TB sata disks). Moreover, in general, for NAS+hardisks proposals i saw, harddisk model and tech data is not indicated, only size.
Maybe vendors charge harddisk mounting/testing or warranty (even up to 5 years)? Or they consider very high end hard drives? Or both?
Street prices are of course set by the reseller, not by Netgear.
If you purchase a system+drives from Netgear, then their warranty also covers the disks (so during the warranty period you'd RMA the drives to Netgear, and not the disk manufacturer).
Whatever the reason, it is almost always cheaper to buy the drives separately, plus it allows you to chose the drive model you want.
