hc2a is the "active" NAS.
hc2b syncs from hc2a every "active" hour, from early morning to late evening.
hc2c is manually synced on demand every few days or once a week.
As of this writing the 3 x HC2 have been working with zero issue. Kudos to Hard Kernel engineers!
I manually apt update them every few months. They are not exposed to the Internet. I usually upgrade hc2c and if it reboots normally, I then upgrade hc2b and if it reboots normally, I finally upgrade hc2a. In doing so, I always has at least one NAS running if a problem were to occur.
Because the Power-Off_Retract_Count does not rise at the same rate on each drive, I do not expect the disks to die at the same time.
The systems have now been running for about 3.2 years

Statistics for each drive:
