How long should I expect a NAS to last? (sh.itjust.works)

First off, I'd normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I'm sure there's considerable overlap.

So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it's a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There's absolutely no reason to believe it'll start failing anytime soon, and it's completely reliable. I'm just succession planning.

I'm looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay.

The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it's worth, and not even half full.

What are your thoughts?

Ah, I see you also choke yours with softwarr...

I have the same model as you and I also wonder when it will explode lol (mostly because I have it in my ROM and can hear when it is struggling).

I have it with lots of docker containers (I can't help it, it is my only server) and the drives never cease to spin.

I actually don't recall since when I have it but it must be similar as you as well...

Just as of recently started to do clean up of containers and such, mostly because I did a fuck up (I deleted with Portainer all my unused volumes which, strangely enough for me, got rid of Portainer's volume, I needed to recreate all my stacks/compose from portainer each one, so I cleaned up some stuff in the process).
