Consolidate storage and streamline your workflow with the G-RAID Shuttle 4 72TB 4-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array from SanDisk Professional . Utilizing four 3.5" drive bays, this RAID array houses a 18TB Ultrastar 7200 rpm SATA III hard drive in each bay. Preconfigured in RAID 5, this array also supports RAID 0, 1, and 10 modes. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is available. The Thunderbolt 3 interface provides sequential read speeds of up to 1000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 1100 MB/s in RAID 0, and may also be used with 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports can be used to daisy chain up to five devices and support up to 85W of power delivery. The SanDisk G-RAID Shuttle 4 comes pre-formatted for macOS 11 and later but may be used with Windows 10 and later via a simple reformat.

NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices run 24/7, making power consumption a steady, though low, cost. The real ongoing expense is replacing hard drives as they fail or filling empty bays to expand storage.
Common Failure Modes
Hard drive failure is the most common issue, which is why NAS uses RAID redundancy to prevent data loss. Fan failures and power brick deaths are the primary hardware issues for the enclosure itself.
Buy based on the software ecosystem (e.g., Synology DSM) and the number of drive bays you need for redundancy and future expansion. CPU power matters greatly if you plan to run media servers like Plex.
The NAS enclosure itself can last a decade. However, the hard drives inside are consumable and typically need replacing every few years depending on workload.
