  Replying to the quotes from the article: >While this is easy enough to do, the user experience might not be optimal - obtaining warranty services is pretty much ruled out AFAIK easystores are relatively easy to shuck non-destructively. If you do it right and don't destroy the enclosure, and your drive breaks, you might still be able to submit it for warranty. Regardless, I'm skeptical about the actual value of the warranty is worth the premium (double the price). >the default TLER settings might need alteration (which is not always possible with commercial off-the-shelf NAS units) True, although it's likely not useful unless in business-critical workloads. You're probably fine without TLER if you're just using it to store movies/games. >the drive is going to be used in non-critical scenarios. What's meant by "critical scenarios" here? Either you care about the data or not. If you care about it, you will keep backups and/or use parity to ensure that one drive failure won't wipe out your data. If you're only storing on one drive, you're one unexpected disk crash from losing it. This applies regardless of whether you're using the cheapest consumer drive, or the most expensive "enterprise" drive.
