GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The review frames the NAS 800 as a repackaged high-performance consumer drive tuned for endurance and server workloads, which could make it attractive to small businesses and enthusiasts running NAS or workstation setups. However, the reviewer notes buyers pay a premium for these NAS-specific optimizations compared to the base consumer drive, suggesting value depends on whether those endurance features are actually needed.
