This operation takes about 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 any time commitment.
The Express exchange service in 3 categories :
- Express D+1 exchange for the NAS server without disks* in 3-year or 5-year version,
- Express D+1 exchange for the NAS server with Standard disks* (WD Blue/Red/Purple, Seagate Ironwolf/Skyhawk, etc.) in the 3-year or 5-year version,
- Express D+1 exchange for the NAS server with Enterprise* disks (WD Red PRO, Ironwolf PRO, Ultrastar, EXOS, etc.) in the 3-year or 5-year version.
We send by express carrier the NAS box or the failed disk 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, this will be invoiced to the user.
