How long should I expect a NAS to last? (sh.itjust.works)

First off, I'd normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I'm sure there's considerable overlap.

So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it's a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There's absolutely no reason to believe it'll start failing anytime soon, and it's completely reliable. I'm just succession planning.

I'm looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay.

The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it's worth, and not even half full.

What are your thoughts?

I've got a 12TB Seagate desktop expansion which contains a Seagate ironwolf drive. According to the link you shared, I'll better look for a backup drive asap.

Edit: the ones in the backblaze reference are all exos models, but i still have no profounf trust in Seagate.

Yes, according to their historical data Seagate drives appear to be on the higher side of failure rates. I've also experienced it myself, my Seagate drives have almost always failed before my WD drives.

Interesting. When I researched drives for my NAS the general conclusion was to avoid the reds. Go with iron wolf.

🤷🏻‍♂️
