I ended up installing a ZFS based NAS at home. I got 4TB of data,
snapshotted hourly, and replicated on secondary backup.
I use it as my centralized storage solution. Regardless which computer
I'm on (Home PC/Home laptop/ work laptop, wife's laptop, TV server,
tablet), my files are there with me, with no need for data transfer.
All of these have about <120 Gigs of local storage, except for the home
laptop, which is 250 (useful for taking stuff when not at home). In any
case, I don't believe in having local storage anymore.
You don't need to go hardcore with a server or anything, but I think
external storage is a superior solution. They make 2TB 2.5" external
drives nowadays. All they need is a USB port and they are good to go.
I wouldn't mind having that. I just don't know where to put one.
