I’m amazed at the general opposition to the concept. Seagate’s ATA more than an interface paper says that if you have more than 1 disk in a box then you *will* have disk failures,
Does this describe you?

If you get NAS with an array and they use commercial not enterprize disks make sure they have vibration resistant mounting for each disk (some do)
