In the past, yes.  But then more, and varied, devices were bought.  Android devices,
SmartTV, etc.  Then friends learned what I had and asked for access.  And knew the
space needed to be expanded.  Looking around I found very good options for dedicated
NAS at low prices.  Included in the offerings were Android and Apple apps to make
access easy with a nice end user experience.  Things like thumbnails for TV shows and
Movies, the ability to mark them watched.  Also, the system will download and in the
apps display descriptions of the show/episode or movie.  And a bunch of other stuff. 
So, for me, I didn't see the need to reinvent the wheel and then maintain it.  That
wasn't my goal.

I spend less than US$ 400 for a 2 bay unit to take advantage of RAID.

Just something to consider.
