I have (or, had,) three NAS drives: one WD MyCloud, one WD MyCloud Home, and one WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra. I got the WD MyCloud in 2017 and now, after being online 24/7 since then, it has died on me. I plan on taking it to Geek Squad to liberate the drive from the dead enclosure.

But my question is: how long do NAS drives last? And does it being user-servicable or user-nonservicable matter? I was hoping to get at least a decade out of it.
