I'm reading only, can't say much about NAS - I'm interested in getting one some day.
I would not rate the burglar problem too high. Laptops and desktops get them some value - but second hand external drives? Here I would be too concerned about failures than to trust these things any kind of data.
Backdoors might be in the OS of other NAS as well, or worse - if it comes from China, I'd be rather sure there is a backdoor in it. I can imagine a scneario where only one of my machines is connected constantly to the internet, others would be offline (except for updates)
