I get where you're coming from, but in the field can somehow differ greatly from theory. I have had no real errors since i've used this big NAS.

I do admit i personally have a lucky track record regarding harddisks. I think in the more than 25 years i have used spinning hardddisks, about 3 or 4 ever failed me. I don't know why, but most technology i use just keeps on working pretty long. :)

I stil have lots of 500 and 1TB disks around in various old NAS devices i haven't booted up in ages. When electricity got quite expensive i decided to stop using those.

The amount of data i really really want to protect is less than 1TB in total i think. All the other stuff on the big NAS is 'nice to have' but not life crushing should it be gone forever.
