You should give me the benefit of the doubt when it comes to understanding the audience! I've got at least fourteen years of writing these blogs and then interacting with the people who engage with them. I think I have a decent understanding with what resonates with the audience. I've found that audience to be large enough that I'd rather focus my efforts on creating content this audience continues to find useful. An engaged audience is far more interesting to create content for than a wider audience.

The audience does want something that they can set and forget, which they've been doing for about as long as I've been writing these blogs. The few recipients of these actual DIY NAS builds (via raffles, giveaways, auctions, etc) have used them for years. For years, people have been telling me about how they used one of my previous DIY NAS buids as inspiration years ago and have told me how they have worked for them over the years. I expect in the not-to-distant future, someone will be telling me the same about this particular NAS. Despite disbelief and insistence otherwise, I'm insanely confident that this DIY NAS will be reliable for years to come.
