A populated NAS system bundles the enclosure and the drives, so it is ready to run out of the box for backups, media and shared storage. This page ranks the populated NAS units we track on Amazon.co.uk, from Synology DiskStation and QNAP to multi bay chassis shipped with disks, by price per terabyte of their total capacity. UK prices refresh through the day. Buying populated trades some flexibility for convenience, and price per terabyte shows whether the bundle is fair against buying an enclosure and drives separately. Filter and sort to find the best value system for your needs.
