Best to RMA once even a single bad sector appear, as more will appear later.

My advice to you is to refresh both NAS and HDD every 3-4 years period.

Do not use/wait till problem pop up to take action as the reality of data loss and long rebuilt time risks.

Both NAS and HDD will go up lorry down the road.

Refresh mean buy new set?
This set not even 4year.
And I just RMA, not even last 12 month.
The set, totally cannot turn on..

Lucky I had a china set one. Later open and try.

Not possible both dead together.
Sound like there is a timer..

Do you run your synology 24/7 or on and off when you need it?

I use Seagate NAS for years so far no issues except one disk might develop some bad sectors after some time.

Not 24/7
I use it when I need it but recently I set schedule to Auto turn on and shutdown daily at night

Does it count as 24/7 also?

Hdd is OK.. But I mean the synology set.. Maybe I should go to DIY lol

Yes, it is not cheap.

Keep cost low by using normal Toshiba 7200rpm HDD and sell old working ones to recover some money.

The Nas are designed for running 24/7, turning the devices on and off frequently will shorten the electronic lifespan. That said that's no excuses for your NAS to spoil so quickly.

Yours maybe had a defective power component? I had a LG monitor adapter which always blew everytime the power supply got cut (stupid yah, means cannot turn off the power). I change 2 of them before the new one proved to be okay.

PS I don't have good experience with WD reds, but I think HDD experiences are subjective also.

I run my NAS on 64 hours per week basis:
Weekday: 5 hours
Weekend: 17 hours

No issue with current DS418 as well as previous DS414.

I read that there are users who placed NAS/router in display unit without ventilation.

Mine is placed on open air shelve below TV.
