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.

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.

I thought the NAS was being turned off on the weekends or overnight, but in reality it has under 7% of uptime.
