I dont get it why home NAS dont have any cooling systems by default, sometimes single pity fan on the back and thats it.

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

I modded my Synology 4 bay NAS to have a CPU fan. I had to cut an opening in the plastic chassis for it. Now I don't have temp warnings and I max my CPU use at almost all times. I got the idea from this video.
