With QNAP, street prices seem to hover around the MSRP? So I guess the diskless 8-bay QNAP TS-809 Pro (Core 2 Duo) should sell for the full $1700 MSRP on the street. Just as the 6-bay QNAP TS-639 Pro (Atom) is selling for the $1100 MSRP.
For comparison the 6-bay ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition street pricing starts under $1700 for the 1.5TB (3 x 500GB) base model. The diskless and reduced-feature Pioneer Edition as was reported here should have street pricing around $1200.
Decision, decision...
I wonder if 2TB HDDs will be available when the 8-bay TS-809 Pro comes out (perhaps part of Seagate's new Barracuda 7200.12 series, assuming they've fixed the problems with their current 1.5TB drives).
