Unless you intend to fill your 8TB drive with games & programs I would go with the NAS every time. There are so many extra functions you can perform with an always on home server/NAS. Also if you do go the NAS route, consider some more exotic raid arrays other than R1. Raid 5 , Raid 6 and Raid 10. work extremely well in NAS units whilst still offering some level of redundancy.

PC:

Monolith(Laptop): CPU: i7 5700HQ GPU: GTX 980M 8GB RAM: 2x8GB 1600MHz Storage: 2x128GB Samsung 850 EVO(Raid 0) + 1TB HGST 7200RPM Model: Gigabyte P35XV4 Mouse: Razer Orochi Headset: Turtle Beach Stealth 450

 

IoT:

Router: Netgear D7000 Nighthawk

NAS: Synology DS218j, 2x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf

Media Accelerator: Nvidia Shield via Plex

Phone: Sony Xperia X Compact
