For a basic home server set-up, what is the most common form of storage? Is it NAS, or RAID or maybe something else? I've done some research with SE's and the problem with NAS is that it would mean effectively having to build a separate system dedicated to storage when I would already be paying-out for the server build itself, so not too keen on this. The problem with RAID is that it is not secure with say RAID 0; RAID 5 is safer but you lose some capacity, so as an alternative to either NAS or RAID, I've been thinking of just an extra high-capacity drive in the server for common storage to be backed-up by an ordinary backup drive on a regular basis using Windows scheduled backup wizard.
