This is an interesting point: there is an analogy to be made with unmaintained equipment that can become environmental hazards and making such equipment without proper warnings and recalls.

I was thinking of getting one for myself, but I think I'll stick to USB-connected JBODs.

I live the hybrid life, connected media, with the essential data backed up to disconnected USB drives.

Convenience and resilience at the same time.

Also, you need at least two different USB drives, that you back up to in A/B fashion. I prefer to own two separate brands.
