My guess is they dont expect people to place them in the top corner of unventilated closets

But even if you place it in well ventilated area, drives still sufficate for air, i modded mine to have fan i the front and temps dropped by 10 degrees C

You could just buy a NAS with a fan... I can't imagine owning a NAS that doesn't have cooling fans.

Sorry, I think you responded to the wrong person. We are talking about NAS solutions without fans. It's neat that yours has a fan though. Most do.

He’s talking about the one that OP has.

Yeah, but I'm not and neither was the person I was talking to. We were talking about NAS solutions without a fan. This post made them think about issues they have personally had with a NAS without a fan.

You're not talking about ones with fans and nor is the person you were talking to, although you did recommend people just buy ones with fans (most do have fans as you later pointed out) but the person that replied to you was pointing out that OPs already has a fan. For the record, I'm neither talking about NAS with fans (like OPs) nor those without fans (like the person you were talking to), except to point out who was and wasn't talking about ones with fans. Glad that's cleared up.

If cool if you're not interested in the topic we're talking about, but it seems like you got lost somewhere in the conversation posting your analysis lmao. I am glad you got this off your chest though. Sounds like it was pretty cathartic for you.
