 My Synology goes EOL sometime early next year. Actually, it went EOL a
 while ago - it's a DS1010+ that was supposed to stop with DSM5, but
 with a few tweaks to configs, it now thinks it's a DS1511. I figure
 when they stop updating DSM6, I'll just keep it off the internet.

 I'm paranoid about it dying - it's close to 10 years old, if not older.
 The drives are fine, but the motherboard and power supply are more my
 concern. I try to keep it cool, have spare fans if needed, replaced the
 thermal paste and keep it dust-free.

 I really need to bite the bullet, buy a new NAS, replace comcast with
 AT&T fiber (with a decent upload speed and no bandwidth caps) and sync
 it to the cloud.

 I could probably do without it, but it's nice having an NFS server that
 Proxmox can talk to, that can stream video to my TVs, and back up my
 PCs to one place...
