Corrections log

Updated

When a page on nasdrives.ca gets a fact, price claim or recommendation wrong, we correct it and record it here with the date, what it said, and what it says now. How we check things is described in our methodology. To report an error, use the contact page.

Renewed drives were listed as new

· /, drive tables on model, family and capacity pages

What it said: Amazon reports some Renewed drives as new, so 28 listings with "(Renewed)" in their titles passed our new-drives-only filter. One led the homepage drive table, and its CA$50.86/TB was quoted as the lowest price for new drives.

What it says now: A listing whose title says Renewed, Refurbished or Pre-owned is now treated as not new, whatever condition Amazon reports, so it is compared only with other renewed and used drives. The homepage figure now comes from a new drive.

The DH2300 was described as running Docker

· /what-can-the-ugreen-nasync-dh2300-run/, the app pages that rank NAS models

What it said: The DH2300's app pages said it runs Docker under UGOS Pro and rated container apps such as Pi-hole and Vaultwarden as fitting, while the same page described the model as having no Docker. Plex was listed as a native package.

What it says now: UGREEN lists Docker and virtual machines as DXP-series functions, and reviews confirm Docker is removed on the DH2300, so container apps are now rated as not running on it. Plex is marked as not confirmed, since we could not confirm a Plex package for this model.

Ordinary low prices were labelled as price drops

· /nas-drive-deals-canada/, /nas-deals-canada/

What it said: The deals pages marked a drive as a price drop, with a percentage badge, when its price was below the median of as few as five recent samples, without checking that the history covered 30 days or came from the same seller and condition.

What it says now: A drive is now called a price drop only when it is at least 5 percent below its own median over at least 30 days of prices from the same seller and condition. Everything else is listed as a current offer, with the date its price history starts.

The under-CA$500 guide said no multi-bay NAS fits the budget

· /best-nas-under-500-canada/, /best-budget-nas-canada/

What it said: The guide stated that there was no true multi-bay NAS under CA$500 on Amazon.ca, as a standing claim. The Amazon.ca offers we track included two-bay models under that price.

What it says now: The guide now separates NAS under budget (without drives), complete setups with drives, and near-budget options, each stating what its price includes, and its verdict is generated from those same current offers. The budget guide's claim that nothing below a two-bay Intel model is a real NAS was corrected too.

An N100 build was associated with ECC memory

· /best-nas-for-home-canada/, /build-your-own-nas/

What it said: The home NAS guide recommended a DIY N100 build to readers who want ECC and ZFS, and the build guide said an N100 build wins for TrueNAS with ECC. Intel lists ECC support for the N100 as No.

What it says now: ZFS (which runs on an N100) and ECC (which the N100 does not support) are now separate statements, and readers who want ECC are pointed to platforms that support it.

Out-of-date electricity rates on the running-cost pages

· /cost-to-run-a-nas-in-ontario/, /nas-power-cost-canada/, the five other provincial cost pages

What it said: The Ontario page used time-of-use prices of 8.7, 12.2 and 18.2 cents and a 2.8-cent overnight price, an unexplained 13-cent blend, and showed an internal note. The other provincial defaults were unverified estimates, and the Alberta and BC pages described rate plans that have since changed.

What it says now: Every default now comes from the utility's own published rates, with the date it took effect and the date we read it, and is the electricity charge only. Ontario uses the OEB prices from November 1, 2025 (9.8, 15.7 and 20.3 cents; 3.9 cents overnight on ULO) weighted over the hours of the year, with the formula shown. Rates we could not confirm are flagged.

Partial build prices were labelled as totals

· /, /plex-server/budget-plex-server/, /plex-server/high-end-plex-server/, /build-your-own-nas/

What it said: Build cards and pages showed a price labelled "from" or "Total" that summed only the parts with a live price and left the rest out.

What it says now: A build now shows "Total" only when every required part has a verified price; otherwise it shows a known subtotal, how many required parts are priced, and which are not.

Used and SAS drives were ranked alongside new SATA drives

· model drive pages, /nas-drives/, drive family and capacity pages

What it said: Drive tables could rank a used drive or a SAS drive alongside new SATA drives without saying so.

What it says now: Value rankings now compare new SATA drives only, every row shows its condition, and renewed, used and SAS drives are listed separately with the reason.

"Out of stock in Canada" described our Amazon feed, not Canada

· /drives-by-model/, /ai-nas-you-can-buy-in-canada/, brand and model pages

What it said: Model listings said a NAS was out of stock or not available in Canada when the Amazon.ca listings we track had no offer. Some tables showed Amazon.com reseller prices.

What it says now: Pages now say "No current Amazon.ca offer" with the date checked, show any Amazon.com price separately in US dollars, and never show reseller-priced US listings.

Incompatible parts were recommended on model pages

· memory, SSD and NVMe pages for every model

What it said: Memory, SSD and NVMe pages drew from shared product lists. The DS224+ SSD page listed M.2 SATA drives as 2.5-inch SSDs; the TS-264 memory page listed DDR5 modules; the DS925+ pages listed desktop and non-ECC memory and NVMe drives outside Synology's list; the DS224+ NVMe page, for a model with no M.2 slot, carried an FAQ about which NVMe to buy.

What it says now: Every model page now checks each part against the maker's published specifications and, where required, its compatibility list. Parts that do not fit are left out; parts the maker has not confirmed are labelled separately.

"Updated" dates reflected price refreshes

· all pages

What it said: The "Updated" date on most pages moved every time prices were refreshed, every six hours, even when nothing in the article changed.

What it says now: "Updated" now changes only when the content changes; the time prices were last read is shown separately as "Prices checked".

The NAS drive deals page did not load

· /nas-drive-deals-canada/

What it said: The page returned an error instead of the deals list.

What it says now: The page loads again.
