Dear experts,

I humbly ask for your advice.

I currently have the 200 GB plan for Google drive. Recently, I have been forced to dump big files (mainly videos shot from our phones) to an external HDD with an ever increasing frequency. Therefore, I looked online and it seems that the pair immich+NAS would be able to replace Google drive for my use case. However, looking into it, I ballparked that I'd need ~1k EUR for a 2 bay system with 6TB in redudancy. Therefore, I am asking myself whether I should just upgrade to the 2TB Google Drive plan for 100 EUR/year. Granted that I'd have less storage, it will still be almost 10 years before I recoup the initial investment.
May I have your second opinion on my line of thoughts?
