Just picked up 17 x 1-TB HDDs at $120 total on craigslist. All WD, Seagate, and Toshiba.

What do we think?

    Sorry to chime in on the negative comments but it’s not a good deal. 17x7 Watt = ~120 Watt, that’s around what my entire home setup uses, including storage.

      That was my thought too. Power efficiency is a big factor to consider when hosting any permanently online self hosted solution. It just doesn’t add up right when going for smaller hard drives anymore.
