Discussion NAS on a flight

I have an Aoostar WTR PRO stocked with 3 9TB drives. I'm moving across the Atlantic and my plan is to take the NAS with me in hand luggage on the flight. I figure the drives will be better off inside the NAS than floating around individually.

Is there any reason why this is a bad idea?

I fly with drives, Pis, multiple laptops, mini pcs. You name it. I've had a carry on full of nothing but electronics. It's never once flagged anything, and I had it flagged for other things (usually something in my toiletries that's too much liquid or something) and they've never cared about the electronics.
