A NAS is obviously the better option if you're always working in the same location, but for people like me who often move between locations it's much more convenient to use one or two large flash drives.
For instance it's much easier for me to keep my VMWare images and snapshots on a flash drive and back that up to a home disk once a day, because it means I can use the images wherever I happen to be. Mostly that's just between home and the office, but that's not always the case.
