I have synology nas and have used shucked drives. Was wonderimg expected lifespans. They are all wd, some are 14tb, 18tb, 20tb, 22 tb and looking into maybe gettimg some 24tb.

Are any of these sizes in a nas like ds1520 or ds1522 have different exoected lifespans. I heard 10tb, 18tb , 20 tb and 24tb are likely to last longer than 14tb, 22 tb but was given no evidence. I was told avearge lifesoand was 3-5 but the longer ones are more like 5. Is all if that bull and they are all likely 3-5 or are some really expected to expire sooner?

Aboit to buy another 5 drives for a dx517 and cocnerned about longevity.

That being said any evidence that some nas or extenders help shorted or lengthen drive life?

Thanks!
