NAS units like these will easily last you 5 to 10 years -quoted from conclusion page can i believe NAS units on market nowdays can last that long ? its parts, like its PSU unit last 10years with 24/7 usage? even 5 years sound already good enough ... if it indeed last 10years for the prices its good enough (roughly around 100euro/year, maybe more if include hdd price) but say it last 5years, then it still kinda expensive for home usage ... well people with thick pocket might think different, but not for me building custom nas end up similar price if not cheaper, with benefit easier to replace failing parts
