u/100GHz, ZERO (answer to the question in title of your post)
Same OEM for 20+ years.
With that said, over the years, I’ve replaced the NAS(es) ca. every 4 years to their newer model (and with each newer NAS, then also new/larger drives as well)… so ca. 5th Generations of NAS Systems in that time frame todate
Note:
I always purchase at least 2 if not 4 of the same exact model and brand NAS (mainly for HA and/or redundancy --‘redundancy’ is NOT backup-- purposes… aka. one physical NAS dies, then you can literally take the drives out of the defective one, stick them into one of the other NAS, boot the device and have immediate access to the data if you are in a pinch --while the ‘temp’ replacement NAS drives will be out of the chasis and of course not available–)
