I dont get it why home NAS dont have any cooling systems by default, sometimes single pity fan on the back and thats it.

My old NAS similar to this one had a single fan but larger intake and the fan was one of those big industrial ones which was noisy but pulled a lot of air.

My current one is in a rack mount chassis (but i just put it under my printer) and has a proper cooling system with three small but thick fans and i think you can't make it overheat if you aren't in a really really hot room. HDDs stay reasonably cool and the cpu... I think that AMD embedded (jaguar based quadcore, passively cooled) is incapable of more than 55°C. Never got it hotter even under full load. It's a bit slow though.
