 ni> Reall?! Wow, that's suprising. They are pretty good NAS units over all.
Yes, I think I was majorly unlucky. Especially seeing the third model is performing awesome.

 ni> When it went bad, what did you loose, just the NAS? Meaning all you had to  ni> is move your HD's over.
Only the NAS, no data loss at all. The downtime was annoying though because all my stuff runs on the dockers. Torrent, Plex, Mystic etc, so I was down for a week until the new unit came in.

The service initially wanted me to sent in the defective unit and check it before issueing the new model. I had to fight for receiving the new unit beforehand.

 ni> What does the recovery process look like?
Recovery was very easy, had to put in a fresh disk in the new NAS and started it to update the firmware. Then I swapped drives and it run like sunshine (at least for a bit). Same method for the third version.

oP!
