I built my home NAS in 2017 the two original drives were replaced after developing bad blocks (4 and 5 years, respectively). The two expansion drives (2018, 2021) are still fine. I built a NAS for a client, which currently has 22 drives (growing bit by bit over the years) in it (270 GB of raw capacity) and since 2018 has lost only 3 drives.

I’d have thought 2 new drives to replace all that would be worth the investment in power savings alone.
