Are you blind and downloading for some other person?

Yea, good luck with that, the formerly japanese Verbatim is now just a label for some Taiwanese/Hong Kong generic manufacturer, and if before there were some discussions about the BD M-Discs not being worth it and being mostly the same process now they don't even bother to use the MILLEN metadata, the difference being only on the box label (and price). What's worse some people reported some really bad quality issues (like 50% failures). So nope, you'll need to stick with the mainstream.
Pray that we at least keep this perk where the discrete storage is something common and cheap, and not some oddity like any of the dead formats or something reserved for Enterprise use with crazy prices (think tape). Already most people are using just what they get in their devices and that is morphing into stuff soldered into motherboards or even included into SoC (think CPU, but with more functions, but only one chip). And very often it's even encrypted and you can't get access to it ...
That has been the case since the hard drive crisis from the end of 2011. Well, SSDs stagnated or even went a little up over a 1-2 years period a few years back but now they're back in full swing. If this continues (which isn't a given, I'd say it's 50/50 chances) it'll be hard to justify spinning rust (all the "but but but unpowered SSDs can lose data in as little as X time" aside).
There is no long term, I think the first one was introduced in 2018, and even then it was an Intel model I haven't seen being offered, never mind someone having it. They only picked up recently in availability and popularity so the experiences would be mostly early failures (or at least warranty ones), plus the waters are muddied by having QLC both in expensive top capacity SSDs and in the bottom of the barrel most corner cutting saving pennies ones.
What are the emails precisely saying? Anyway, just put rclone on it and start downloading.
I just want to have all of my files backed up!
Just save multiple copies of them? ACD wasn't supposed to be used, especially by people that know about this sub, since early 2017 when they closed the API to ACD_CLI and rclone, and then slowly to everything.
Cheaper than Backblaze personal that's a first in this sub. Yea, I guess it is possible if you don't have too much to save, anyway just use rclone with B2 (or any other service that supports it, it's generally the best option by far).
This UPS has a rated runtime of 1min 10s at 325W !!! Sure it'll be a little longer if loaded less, but also it'll get shorter in time as the battery degrades (really quickly with lead-acid batteries!). The whole point of the UPS is to give you time to shutdown safely the system, and this is why it's usually automatic. If not it'll be next to useless for unattended systems like a NAS.
As long as it's SATA it'll work, but in many regions it isn't worth it as the sales on externals are much better (and they come with the enclosure too). I mean you can't easily beat the $199.99 18TB Easystore.
Unless I'm looking at the wrong box it's a Ryzen (so no hardware accelerated transcoding) with a very meager 4584 Passmark? That's really low if you want to actually do anything with it, I mean you wouldn't start building a PC anywhere close to that weak, heck even the ultraportables like Surface Pros are multiple times more powerful than that.
Better cooling?
Which ones? There are some that are even SMR...
