Remember that the firehose of test data we’ve seen lately has been _extraordinary_… and perhaps short-lived. It was taking people [2-4 years to fill 8-12TB HDDs](https://www.reddit.com/r/storj/comments/1dw5ptj/comment/lbyj8l2/) previously.

(But if you already have most of the gear: there’s not much to lose giving it a try. I just wouldn’t drop $25k in fresh cash on Storj. I’d start with what I owned… and [add drives as they fill](https://forum.storj.io/t/sno-capacity-planning/26722/104))
