I'm in a similar boat. I had a server in a closet but switched to a NAS a few years ago and haven't looked back. I do run into people who thinks NAS is old hat, that everything should be backed to a cloud somewhere. These are the people who think they are watching 4k because they select that option on youtube. I want to watch 4k without buffering, without artifacts. NAS lets me do that. And when I go away for a few days or weeks, everything is turned off. No data leaks possible when the "spinning rust" isn't spinning.
