The "personal files" I really want to keep safe amount to around 500MB of truly important data (pdfs, scanned documents, text files etc) and ~200GB of images and videos.
Both of which are 3-2-1 backed up.
Adding an ECC motherboard to my NAS would cost more than a quarter century of cloud storage for that amount of data.
The rest of my terabytes of data would be inconvenient to lose, but not fatal. In the worst case I'd need to track down a few rare DVDs and re-rip them.
