Best wholesale supplier for NAS box motherboards?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to buy NAS box motherboards in bulk for my repair shop. I've been using a few local suppliers, but the prices have been creeping up, and the quality has been hit or miss lately. Ideally, I'm looking for a supplier with a good reputation for RMA processes as well. I usually do around 10-15 NAS builds a month, so I need something reliable and cost-effective. Any insights on pricing or experiences with different vendors would be super helpful!

I highly recommend checking out TechSupplyDirect. I've been sourcing my NAS motherboards from them for the past year, and they've been consistently reliable. Their prices are competitive, usually around 10-15% lower than other suppliers I’ve tried, and their RMA process is straightforward. I've had to return a few boards, and their customer service was quick to resolve the issues. Plus, their website integrates well with my shop software, making inventory management a breeze.
Another option is PartsExpress. They have a decent selection of NAS motherboards, but I found their pricing to be a bit on the higher side compared to others. I've had mixed experiences with their RMA process; it took longer than I expected to get replacements. Just make sure you read their return policy thoroughly before ordering. Overall, they’re okay, but I’d recommend looking at TechSupplyDirect first.
