This is a fantastic storage and backup device that has served me well. I used it in Direct Attached Storage mode using the iSCSI interface connected directly to a host computer. I have now replaced it with a larger Network Attached Storage (NAS) system and no longer require it.

I am selling this unit with no drives installed. It is certified by the manufacturer for up to 32TB of raw storage. I personally exceeded this capacity to around 40TB, and I have seen individual YouTubers exceed this at 80TB and above using 12TB and 14TB Professional NAS drives. It comes with the original retail packaging and all cables and accessories that came with it, as shown in the pictures. It's a phenomenal device if redundant, hot-swappable direct attached or local network storage will cover all of your needs.

Please get in touch if you have any questions, and happy bidding!
