[NFBCS] it's a raid followup

[Aaron Cannon]

For me, the major benefit is that I only pay for electricity and the
initial cost of the hardware. Also, all my data is local, so I can
access it at the speed of my LAN.

That said, I also use cloud backups, but I don't back up everything.
Only the stuff I couldn't bare to lose, such as family photos,
documents, etc.

I also run Plex, so all of our media can easily stream to our various
devices throughout the house.
