-
* The time indicated is estimated based on a user with some computer knowledge. If the training takes more time, certain actions cannot be carried out. At the end of the allotted time, we will estimate with the customer, the points to be reviewed and the additional time necessary to finalize the installation and the training. This additional time must be acquired through one of the 3 installation packs.
Maintenance service in exchange for a SYNOLOGY or QNAP NAS
We offer an express D+1 exchange service for your NAS and its disks.
Why offer maintenance when a NAS server is guaranteed by the manufacturer for 2 or 3 years depending on the model?
The warranty is a return guarantee to the manufacturer, that is to say that you must return the equipment in place to the manufacturer through your supplier. This assesses the failure and replaces the failed components. This operation takes around 15 days with a minimum of 3 to 5 days of return transport. This corresponds to an unavailability of your NAS server for approximately 3 to 4 weeks without commitment of time.
The Express exchange service in 3 categories:
- NBD Express Exchange for the NAS server without disks* in 3-year or 5-year version,
- NBD Express Exchange for the NAS server with Standard* disks (WD Blue / Red / Purple, Seagate Ironwolf / Skyhawk, …) in 3 year or 5 year version,
- NBD Express Exchange for the NAS server with Enterprise* disks (WD Red PRO, Ironwolf PRO, Ultrastar, EXOS, …) in 3-year or 5-year version.
We send by express carrier the NAS box or the failed drive directly to the address provided by the user. A transport voucher allows the return of broken down equipment. In the event that the equipment is not returned within 15 days, it will be billed to the user.
* The service must be acquired within 3 months maximum following the purchase of the product.
