Best wholesale supplier for NAS box SSDs?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on the best wholesale suppliers for SSDs specifically for NAS boxes. I've been dealing with a few local distributors, but their prices seem a bit high, and I want to find a reliable source that won’t break the bank. Quality is key since these drives will be used for critical data storage, and I also need to consider RMA processes in case of failures. I usually purchase in bulk, so any tips on pricing structures or volume discounts would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have experience with certain brands that perform well in NAS environments, that would be helpful too. Thanks in advance for your insights!

I've had great success with a distributor called Storage Solutions Direct. They offer competitive pricing on bulk SSDs, particularly for NAS setups. Their customer service is top-notch, and I’ve rarely had issues with RMAs. In fact, they have a straightforward process that makes handling returns or exchanges easy. I also recommend checking out their volume discounts; I’ve saved quite a bit by purchasing larger quantities. Plus, they have a catalog on their website that makes ordering simple, which fits well into my workflow since we use repair shop software to track inventory. Hope this helps!
I've sourced SSDs from a couple of different places, but I recently tried out Tech Supply Co. They have decent prices, but I’ve found that their shipping times can be a bit slow, which can be an issue when you need parts quickly. They do have a good selection, but I think the quality can be hit or miss, and I’ve had a few RMAs that took longer than expected. I'd suggest testing a small batch first before going all in with them. Make sure to factor in your repair shop's workflow and how fast you need these drives to arrive. Good luck!
