Gets back to "special needs."
If you need redundancy, or multiple systems having access to the same files, or you really feel the need to learn this stuff, then it's worth setting up a file server. They're great for media servers, especially with more than one user in the household. And it's valuable experience. Otherwise pick up an enclosure and another HD mechanism and you're done.
