Interesting. I wonder if it’s worth putting a Faraday cage around a home NAS – but it sounds like the electrical surge from it being plugged in might fry it as well.

I'd imagine you could probably protect it through some combination of Faraday cage and surge protection but to what end at that point if the rest of the grid is fried, ya know?
