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

What do we think?

    From a price point of view that was not a good deal in terms of $/TB, but, if you need a lot of throughput you can easily create a 17 disk RAID6 array, but this requires an LFF storage system that can handle these many drives. Do you have such a system already or what was the idea to buy this many 1TB drives? Can you elaborate more?
