where can I get a RN424?

[MWilliams4]

I am looking to add a RN424 to my network and everywhere is sold out.

Are they discontinued, or is there a pause in inventory?

I have no insider knowledge - but I'd be surprised if they discontinued the RN424, as it is the newest desktop chassis.

It is very hard to find any RNx26 models, for sure, and my pending RN526 order from Amazon was cancelled a day ago as Unavailable.

I think Chinese New Year is around now. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Not one of the Retailers listed on the Netgear site under the Retailer BUY links had a diskless unit in stock. I doubt they all celebrate Lunar New Year.

What I meant is the units are built in China.

I think most Chinese factories close for about a week or two leading up to Chinese New Year which fell on January 25 this year.

Netgear is selling them on amazon.com

Keywords used. ReadyNAS RN424| ReadyNAS 424| NetGear 424

They are, but the lowest price is like $700.

I just bought one a few months ago at $399

Yup. Not worth the price.
Even eBay is inflated.

My RMA 424 replacement was valued nearly 600 USD. Came with a invoice/recept.

Shakes head. It's like buying the thing twice.
My 314 was just over 700 CAD.

Are you after..
Just the click and configure interface.
Just the standalone ability to bunch some drives.
