Not all NAS units need to be tied to your network, some come with eSATA/USB 3/Firewire/Thunderbolt and can connect directly to your PC.
It's like a giant external Hard Drive that can sit next to your rig.

I am at that point where I can't be bothered opening my rig up to swap drives anymore, rather just have them all external. - But I am about to have 30 terabytes worth of storage, so I am not exactly a "casual" user by any means.

Yeah, I'm not that heavy of a user. I'd rather touch my PC or anything about it as little as possible. I don't really need the expansion of my storage, I'm doing it on a whim because I have to touch my PC anyway. Unless my PC breaks or I have the urge to get a completely new one I won't ever touch my internal storage. I'm hoping I won't touch my SPC at least for the next 3 years. And I mean that literally.

Last week there was an interesting deal for a data grave with two 10 TB WD Reds: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/western-digital-my-book-duo-20tb-2x-10tb-wd-red-usb-c-raid-1122144
