Overview

We offer two types of service to prepare your NAS before it leaves our Melbourne warehouse: a DOA Test and a full Pre‑configuration. Choose the level of setup that suits your needs and timeline.

DOA Test

The DOA Test includes booting your NAS and running a health test on hard drives. This verifies the system and drives are functioning so that when they arrive onsite they will work the first time.

  • System power‑on and basic checks
  • HDD installation and health verification
  • Summary of test outcome included with shipment

Pre‑configuration

Description

Get your NAS delivered ready to use – no technical setup required. When you order this service with your NAS, our team will professionally install your hard drives, configure RAID, and optimise the system for your needs. Instead of dealing with setup menus and complex options, you will receive a NAS that is ready to power on and use straight out of the box.

What’s included

  • Drive installation & testing – HDDs securely mounted and verified for health
  • RAID configuration – set up for performance and redundancy (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10 depending on chassis and your requirements)
  • System optimisation – initial setup, volume creation, and updates applied
  • Network configuration – default network settings for easy plug‑in connection
  • User setup – admin account and folders prepared for media, backups, or office use
  • Documentation – a quick‑start guide with your NAS credentials and configuration

Benefits

  • Hassle‑free: skip the complicated installation steps
  • Peace of mind: drives tested and RAID configured by professionals
  • Plug and play: connect power and network and you are ready to go
  • Tailored: configured based on your storage goals (speed, redundancy, or balance)

Who is this for

This service is ideal for home users, creators, and small offices who want the reliability of a professionally set‑up NAS without the technical headache.
