In my experience file storage makes more sense for most
home users. Why? Because they understand files and file
interfaces are simpler. Block devices don't compute for
many people and iSCSI drivers + setup are usually non-
trivial.
Whether you go block or file though the key to personal
data preservation is to maintain multiple copies of your
data. Any single device can and will fail. You can't let it
take your only copy when it does.
