I've never used a NAS but want one for several reasons. First, I use a 5TB external HD to store music, movies, and time machine backups of my Macbook. The 5TB is nearly full, and I believe it's starting to fail, so I want to replace it with a NAS that has more storage and is set up with RAID to protect from future failures. Second, I'd like to access files when not at home and save on paying monthly subscriptions to Google Drive and Apple iCloud. Third, I want the NAS to manage torrents (music, movies, etc). Fourth, I want to play torrented movies on my living room TV and abandon my current inefficient workflow of loading and screencasting movies from my iPad Lastly, I may have other use cases I'm not yet aware of, and I don't want to regret my purchase because it can't do something I discover later, but I'm overwhelmed by all the options and picking a NAS to buy is difficult.
