My old NAS was 2011 vintage and ran for 12 years continuously, never
off, A Buffalo with 2x Maxtor 2TB 3.5in PATA drives.
I never knew they made them that big, the 4TB drives I removed were
SATA.
What made me switch
off was the noise of 2 drives running when everything else had been
upgraded to SSD, the electricity usage and the fact the 600MHz ARM CPU
could only manage 24MB/s over the 1Gbps network.
I don't really have a need for a home NAS. Big files (videos and
backups) go onto USB drives which I connect as required. A few GBs
on an SD card in a single-board-computer suffices for everything
else with cheaper hardware and less power wasted.
Actually they are 4TB drives. It was a 2TB NAS when the disks were mirrored.
