Observation: more and more companies are adding a year of use (from typically 36 months to now 48 months) to their corporate servers/laptops to keep the exploding hardware costs for renewal under control. Most machines come with max 36 months of (onsite) warranty, so they accept the risk of being 12 months out of warranty.

@jwildeboer I’ve build a new home NAS as well as a office server last year.

What I didn’t get around to was replacing the (almost 10y) old hardware of my two collocated servers and expanding their storage for some additional new use cases. Planned to do that this year. Now I’m “praying” that there won’t be any HW failures for a while, Storage in particular.🤞
