He’s pointing out both that it does not cost nearly 1,000 to setup an NAS with a lot of storage and that 1,000 isn’t a lot of money for something you’ll use frequently. Because it really isn’t. My budget mountain bike cost $1200. I don’t consider that a lot of money for what it is at all. My NAS cost probably around $500 total. That’s with 20tb of storage however. Only a fool would buy brand new or full price when setting it up.

The issue gets murkier when you get into /tv/ or /a/ territory and start streaming 4K/blu ray rips from the server. Even then, you can set up a hefty little box and slap it onto your switch. Having two ethernet ports and shit like that is only necessary if you're moving a lot of data very quickly.

You’re absolutely right, I have SAB grabbing a fairy small amount of content and it burns through storage like crazy. Lately I’ve only been grabbing the really visual content like IT, Marvel stuff in 4K and leaving Tv shows and other movies at 720 or even SD.
