If there is no use, they can spin down the disks etc. Wait some month and the green thinking will reach also low cost NAS devices. But you're right. SC as only case for buing a NAS device is not make sense in most cases. But, you really can benefit from a NAS in other ways very easily: - separate the (important) document data from your workstation - centralize the data when having more than on PC in your household - reduce data loss risk by using RAID mirroring (in addition to my former posting, this is again a service running on a NAS) Of course there will be more bullet points, depending on your IT infrastructure at home. These are just the most common cases. Havin' said that, it would make sense to me.
