This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Ha! My DNS 323 NAS finally died this year. I think it made it 15 years, which is awesome for a product like that. Good luck.

How much abuse did yours take? Ours is a backup and occasional video server.

Same exact use case for me. Backup and Plex video server. I would say no abuse. I regularly blew out dust and ensured the fan was clean and spinning freely.

It just started randomly turning off. Then one day, it wouldn't turn on.

The data on the HDDs was fine. But, they were formatted in a Linux ext format that Windows can't read natively. You can recover the data, just takes a few steps.

Thanks. Guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed that ours keeps trucking.
