The amount of storage isn't the issue unless you're taking about 10++ terabytes. The things that's interesting is how you're accessing and writing to it - depending on that, it might indeed be infeasible to do everything yourself as an individual. A "cloud" storage like next cloud with only 1-3 users? That's not gonna become a problem, while the base configuration with backups will likely take you a weekend, it's not that hard.
