It's all about uptime - it would an overkill if you don't plan to run your media PC 24x7.
Dumb question, but would a nas drive be okay to use as a media drive for a PC?
My friend, there never is a dumb question here. One of the features I love about SlickDeals is the comments section. There is a lot of Q&A that takes place and so much valuable information that is shared. The way you asked the question was very humble (which IMHO is very admirable), but please always feel free to ask questions. Also, I guarantee someone else has the same question, but possibly may be hesitant to ask.
Regarding your question: yes, you could use this HDD (Hard Disk Drive) as a media drive in your PC. However, I would recommend an SSD (Solid State Drive) in your PC instead. You'll see much better performance, better durability, and lower power consumption with a SSD. A HDD (like the one in this deal post), is slower (they use moving parts...spinning platters with read/write heads) and less durable, but they are cheaper. Also, as others have mentioned, this drive has been engineered for a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) setup working 24x7x365. So, you could use it in your PC, but I'd go with an SSD.
No matter which one you pick, make sure your media drive is backed up. Local storage, cloud storage, anything that will give you insurance in case that media drive fails.
Hope this helps!
