My WD Mycloud Mirror 8 TB NAS has been running for nearly 4 years without any problems. Bonus...it runs the DVR software for the network so I don't need to keep a PC running for that. When I bought it from the Wimmen Warriors I paid less than the cost of the 2 drives, so I'm content with the result so far. No doubt YMMV.
