This is from ebay. I don't know much about NASes except I have a DS 112j that is on its last leg and I need something that I can run raid 1 and has a quad core cpu because I plan on uploading 1TB of photography and my DS112j would take too long with its old cpu. It's going to be for archiving documents, photos, and a media center through my Roku. This is only $180 and the seller seems legit. It's a 2016 model. The 2020 model is $400 and I don't want to spend that much on this. I am buying 2 2TB WD Reds.

 

Are there any red flags I need to know about?
