Much more likely weeks in my case, but that's fine. This NAS has been
running for 5 years with one interruption to service and that was a
mainboard failure. So I would expect the downtime from a dead disk to
occur once every 5 years or less, which also correlates with my
experiences with all my other personal systems (except my first attempt
of a NAS, which had more frequent disk failures which I think were
caused by thermal problems. I did use RAID-1 in that system.)

In other words, I understand the risks and impacts for RAID or not RAID
in my personal NAS, and the inconvenience of RAID far outweighs the
inconvenience of downtime when one (or both) of the 2 disks fail, since
downtime is not a big deal for this system for me and the frequency I
expect to face it is very low.

I would make, and have made, different judgement calls for business
systems in my professional life, of course. And my VPS is doubtless
RAID-backed by the ISP that supplies it; downtime for that would be
much more of an inconvenience for me than my NAS.
