If your needs are handling large amounts of photos/videos for work/hobbies, then a NAS probably makes sense, but if you're just hoarding a bunch of movies/tv-shows, does that really need RAID5/6 ? A single drive would probably be adequate, considering that you can probably "recreate" the contents.
Personally i use a content cache on my LAN that caches data for the cloud, meaning my data i available at LAN speeds on my LAN, but still stored in the cloud.
But my original comment was mostly about self hosting services.
Depends on the situation.
