The NAS owner said the 4TB HGST drives have only accumulated 6,000 hours since their deployment, translating to about 600 hours or about 25 days annually.

Keeping it off the majority of the time defeats the purpose of using something like this.
Yeah, NAS is meant to be on 24/7.

I’ve had machines and many drives running for 10 years, only rebooting as necessary, and never powering off.
