Well, I've watched this video more than once and they did mention Celsius at least 5 times talking with the firefighter and chief. Linus did slip and mention Fahrenheit (over 1000 degrees) at the end of the video. So if you're all about getting into a semantic argument about which unit of temperature they used in the test: congratulations, you win!
As other posters have stated more succinctly (you may be overthinking this), this was purely a test for FIRE and WATER damage. If you'd like to produce a video solely about shock damage during shipping and any possible shock damage during a fire...go right ahead! Do you seriously think with all that plastic and polymer padding inside the NAS that sufficiently protects against fire and water damage that falling off a 2 or 3 foot table during a fire would cause any damage whatsoever? And another point, does IOSTORE provide any guarantee that it is 100% shock resistant, considering they R&D'd it against fire and water damage? Are you following this theory in a linear pattern or is your brain wired differently than the rest of the world? I'm only asking so you can seek out professional help.
Of course the rest of us all realize there has to be one "person" in the room who has to spoil the meal...it's like a new government edict. How about this theory? If someone was going to spend over $1500 on a fireproof/waterproof NAS device, do you think they might mount it on a server rack or keep it in a rather secure space in their office, business, house? Or do you think IT professionals use these things as miniature coffee tables? I think simulating a house fire with combustible material directly next to and on top of the NAS was a perfect "worst case" scenario. Also, would you agree whether it was 900 F or 900 C, that's pretty darn hot (can I swear on this board?)!
But what do I know, I've only been working in the IT field for over 30 years and the majority of that time was a consultant dealing with amongst other things: disaster recovery. This little bundle of joy would have been cherished 20 plus years ago and saved hundreds of man hours. We wouldn't have had to drive offsite tapes and drives to other facilities every single day in the event our main operations facilities had a fire or flood.
This is just my opinion...maybe you should have given this a little more thought prior to posting.
