No but I should pull my finger out and build one.
Probably with the next move, my current rig will probably be used as the foundation for it.

Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.
Yes - synology 5 bay DS-1513+. It's saved the day a few times so i keep updating it.
I used to keep stuff on extra hard drives until one died and i lost a bunch of old stuff.
It's quiet - reasonably fast and has worked as promised. My singular complaint is that swapping out a hard drive is a multi-DAY procedure. It's so darn slow in this regard.
Yes, I own Seagate's Backup NAS (or something like that). I use it for backing up everything, from music and games to short stories and poems.
Been running a FreeBSD box as NAS & media server for about 5 years. It backs up (selected) files overnight to a friend's system - and his backs up to mine - as off-site backup. The base system pre-disks cost about £350 5 years ago and it's been used every day since then. Well worth the money and time spent setting it up! I've also previously used it as a webserver, NAT punch-through server in addition to plex media, samba server and backup-controller.
Yep. Still run a HP 54L with 16 TB (4x WD Red 4TB drives) of storage in ZFS running open Indiana with 16GB of RAM as the host operating system with 3 VM running small Linux installs on it, doing web serving, one file sharing/management, and one stripped down desktop.
Mainly used for video storage/sharing.
Want to upgrade it so that it's more energy efficient, but it's a want, not a need.
None. Had one once, have had them over the years for work, throughput always sucks when compared to a windows desktop/server sharing files.
