# NAS quote worksheet

Complete one copy per proposed system. Blank prices mean **quote required**, not free. Compare the same workload, usable-capacity target, backup retention and support scope.

Business workload: __________  Required usable capacity: __________  Growth/headroom: __________

Recovery owner: __________  Acceptable data loss: __________  Required restore outcome/time: __________

Region/currency: __________  Tax treatment: __________  Quote date/expiry: __________  Ownership horizon: __________

| Cost line | Exact product / scope | Quantity | Unit price | One-time total | Annual recurring | Source / date | Owner |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|---|
| Enclosure | Model + seller + warranty | | | | | | |
| Drives | Model + compatibility evidence | | | | | | |
| Backup destination | Supported target + retention | | | | | | |
| Power protection | Compatible UPS / shutdown path | | | | | | |
| Network changes | Only where workload requires | | | | | | |
| Installation | Access, update, backup, documentation | | | | | | |
| Administration | Actual support scope / time | | | | | | |
| Energy | Measured/quoted watts + local rate | | | | | | |
| Replacement allowance | Document assumptions separately | | | | | | |
| Restore exercise | Test scope and evidence | | | | | | |

One-time subtotal: __________  Recurring annual subtotal: __________

Ownership estimate = one-time subtotal + (years × recurring annual subtotal) + separately identified non-annual assumptions. Avoid double-counting costs. Record tax consistently and do not mix currencies without a dated exchange-rate assumption.

Before acceptance: confirm exact disks, selected layout and capacity calculation; record independent backup and restore evidence; name access/recovery owners; test the agreed power-loss response. A quote is not evidence that a recovery test passed.
