I have copied the DVDs that I have (and I have a lot) in the DVDs folder. I still own the DVDs but I know, by experience, that DVDs are fragile. I consider that the DVDs folder IS a backup.
The two other folders (Films and Series_TV) contain a copy of the movies and series that are stored on several 0.5 to 2 TB hard disk. If you prefer, call that a copy for safety.
I was beliving from my readings that reliability was increasing when using HD instead of DVD and Raid5 instead of standard HD.
In 20 (twenty!) years of use, I only experienced ONE crash (an USB disk fell on the ground). But I know that "natural" crashes (heads scrashing the disk,...) exist.
But if (as indicated in the article) the probability of crashing a disk in the interval of 3 years is between 1% and 3%, the probability of crashing more than one disk in a set of four (classic organizaition of Raid5) during the same period is between 0.06% and 0.52 %.
But enough with terminology and probabilities let us try to solve the problem.
To answer to your question : yes I made a reboot of the NAS (and of the PC) and, as indicated supra,
