What is misunderstood by many people is that Storj doesn’t target the Average Joe to become a SNO. They target people who have larger home servers for whatever reason or run businesses where they also manage their own hardware. In this cases it makes sense to have a larger amount of unused hardware. The marketing team framed it include everyone, but in reality the pricing already excludes John Doe with his only 500GB HDD that he had lying around in a closet for a couple of years.
