Thanks Guys!

Matt - I was following you, up till the last paragraph. I am a computer idiot.

I am sold on the NAS solution however. I just need to figure out which magic box to buy. I think 4T is about all I need.

I work from both my office PC and my laptop. Having a networked drive is very handy, when it works anyway. I use my laptop for tuning vehicles, calibrating my video equipment and other things that don't tie me to the office.
