Put in a bunch of hard drives, configure the OS to make them available over the network, and now it is also a NAS.
My fear is that if I just add a bunch of drives to my gaming PC, those drives can fail and I will lose all the media. And If I use some kind of Raid, and my Motherboard fails, I'm screwed.
That's why I wanted a NAS. I know a NAS is not a backup, but with some kind of RAID I got less of a chance of losing media. In the end I will only have movies and shows there, so if I lose some, it's not the end of the world.
