ITT a bunch of simple things like cast iron skillets. It’s a chunk of iron. You have to try to break stuff like that. What do you have that people wouldn’t necessarily expect to have good durability?
My DS 214 NAS. Been going strong for a nearly a decade.
My Anker multiport charger. Also going strong for a long time.
Early Dyson vacuum cleaner. That thing’s seen some abuse, but it keeps on going.
Toro riding mower. Had to replace a few small parts along the way, but it’s still going for over a decade.
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.

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.

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