The biggest problem I've faced with their app suite is it seems to make my disks spin 24/7, constantly seeking even if there is zero external activity. It wouldn't be such a big problem if I didn't live in a small apartment and have to listen to them seek all night. Other people have reported the issue, but it doesn't seem like they plan on addressing it.
I think it only does this until the catalogue has been indexed, depending on what options are enabled. For instance, if face matching is enabled then it has to process all of the pictures for faces and group them.
I'll be honest I keep my NAS in a purpose built server closet in my house which is shielded.
Maybe costs of SSDs are coming down enough you could use those instead?
