I too, am 60 and find the convenience and flexibility of access across multiple systems enormously valuable.
The NAS would have redundant drives and I would have a backup strategy to recover from failure. (I've worked with servers/storage for the past 20 years so I'm twitchy about not having the ability to restore data or single points of failure.)
I'm also an IT guy as well. Rather than constantly spinning lots of rust, I keep backups of both the OS and data drives. The former is a 128 GB SSD that maintains a current image of the OS and have multiple copies of my conventional 2 TB data drive via a collection of offline USB hard drives.
