NAS build, what's wrong with it?

I want to setup a NAS (mainly for storing games and videos), that I’d also like to use to watch said videos on a WiFi TV and to install games on a separate PC connected via ethernet.

That's not really relevant to the question being asked and the answer you're replying to though. OP said straws should just stop existing because it's only a convenience, and this counterpoint was that there are people who NEED straws, not as convenience but as necessity.
