Work must always be separate from personal. Period. End of story.
I use Synology. I simply love it. I have RAID 6 which cuts down on the space I can use, but it gives me the peace of mind that I need, especially after one of my drives already died and I had to get it replaced. With RAID 6, I had no impact in speed whatsoever and 2 more drives would have to fail before I lost anything. Thanks to Amazon, I can get a new drive next day, so the chance of data loss is relatively small.
I also have an external USB connected to it that I will occasionally do full backups, every few months (my data doesn't change a huge amount).
Using a Synology plugin, I upload all my pics, encrypted, to Amazon Cloud for $60/year. I'm still figuring out if it's worth it to expand this to all my data, given that I don't completely trust how secure this is, and what it would look like if I did suffer a catastrophic data loss. I'm limited by time though.
