I had one NAS failure when Netgear updated their firmware and something went wrong. They have been pushing too many updates for my taste the last half year. Every update is an increased risk of complete NAS failure.

And there is no way to disable that annoying popup up that wants you to update the firmware.

Try not having it connected to the internet? I understand home network, but that is LAN and not WAN.

Yes I can block it from the Internet, but I just wanted to point out that having a NAS does not guarantee you that your data is safe. One firmware update and everything is lost. This happened twice to me.

I actually have multiple NAS drives and multiple external hard disks that are actually completely disconnected.
