Yep, that's about right.
I bought the Seagate NAS about 8 years ago - it was on special offer (because it turned out the seller was in serious financial difficulties that closed him down a few months later): NAS box, and 4*4TB drives for 1/4 RRP all brand new. And when I upgraded to the faster QNAP box I migrated the HDDs to the new box.
But that's a lot of hours for an HDD, even running as cool as the NAS keeps them, and as low loading as my NAS's get. Hence the "replace all four" idea.
What I may do is stuff one of them in my desktop (replacing the DVD I never use) and use it as a "game disk". 4TB should be about big enough to hold GTA VI when it finally comes out ...

RAID 5 with anything over a terabyte is asking for trouble during the rebuild. You should seriously consider shifting to RAID 10.

Yay! Some places you're lucky if RM arrives at all. Where I live there are some roads that have no deliveries for a month at a time. Very annoying.

Lenovo to offer Android PCs, starting with an all-in-one • The Register[^]
AND:
MSN[^]
I spent many years programming Windows PCs in C#. But about 3 years ago I started dabbling, first in Java, but then in Android. I really took to Android! The only problem: I could only find Android phones and tablets. I couldn't get a proper desktop PC running Android.
When Lenovo brings out their Android PC, I will be one of the first to bite! Android has less bells and whistles, that I don't need. It is lean, mean and fast that I like! Windows have become so bloated with unnecessary stuff that just robs you of performance and add loads of problematical issues that I really don't need.

No thanks. As I understand a Chromebook can run Android apps on the ChromeOS. I want a PC that will run Android apps on the Android Operating System. The Android OS is in a league of its own. Last time I checked there were more devices on earth running Android than Windows and Apple iOS combined. Granted they are mostly phones, but that may change when Android becomes available on proper PCs. Who knows?

What's to like so much about Android? I own, and have seen, multiple devices that, even after factory resets, hang/freeze/stutter/are sluggish and are simply not reliable enough to do anything of any sort of importance. Like, things obviously out of application control (even before any third-party app has any chance to launch); these failings have to come from the OS itself.
I've never owned a reliable/stable Android device - even when brand new - and people are still, to this day, bringing me recent Android devices, and they're still as likely to crash / need frequent resets as my old ones.
I've come to accept it as normal for Android and concluded the OS has to be such as mess it's just unsalvageable at this point...kinda like Windows 3.1's incessant crashes back in the day. Is my perception wrong, and people can honestly say they have positive experiences with their Android tablets/phones? (and if they do, do they just have such low expectations??)
I'd love to be proven wrong. My experience, every time I come in contact with an Android phone, says otherwise.

My experience on the whole has been very positive. I've owned 6 or 7 different Android phones (Motorolas, LGs, Samsungs and now a Pixel 6 Pro). I switched to Android when Palm died. My wife started with an iPhone 4 but switched to Android after all the trouble she had with it (mostly Samsungs, maybe 1 LG). I've owned 3 different Samsung tablets. I've been pleased with all of them. Upgrading every few years to stay with the newer Android versions.
I have had the occasional crash but not for a while now. No problems with the Pixel. The LG had issues, especially towards the end, but reboots always fixed it. Annoying but they were seldom so I lived with it until I upgraded to the P6 a year+ ago.
It may come down to how I use it. The phone is used as a phone, GPS, text messaging, idle browsing, calendar, email. The tablet for browsing, some shopping, email, texting, calendar, entertainment (crosswords, wordle, etc.), CP. No dev, no gaming, nothing really hard core.

I'd love to narrow it down to that. But, as I said, even after a factory reset - wiped clean of my own data and whatever apps might have been downloaded - the problems persist, even after the very first reboot. If a system isn't stable after a factory reset - the equivalent of a full, clean reinstall...then I unfortunately can't attribute that to how I use it. It should at least be stable out of the box...

I have had no experience programming Android phones, but I have hundreds of hours programming Android tablets using the Kotlin language. I enjoyed every minute of it! Especially when I started using the Jetpack Compose version of Kotlin.
I do have a somewhat old LG Android phone, but no issues with it.

Who knows, maybe that's the solution--run everything through an emulator. 'cuz the physical hardware just ain't cutting for me, apparently.
I've never programmed anything on Android - I'm not complaining about my apps being unstable on the OS - I'm using Android like the average user, not a developer.
How all devices are so crash/freeze-prone for me, in such a consistent way...I have no idea. But that's my experience. I've owned 5 Android devices in total - fool me once, shame on you...fool me 4 more times, I'm an idiot if I continue to buy into the ecosystem and expect a different outcome.
