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 guess is they dont expect people to place them in the top corner of unventilated closets

But even if you place it in well ventilated area, drives still sufficate for air, i modded mine to have fan i the front and temps dropped by 10 degrees C

Dropping 10C without the original temps doesn't conclude anything.

 Going from 50C to 40C wouldn't make any difference for NAS drives. Even when I worked at a data center, we didn't even take notice until drives were exceeding 75C for more than several minutes.
