Hi !
Personnaly, I just see there a gift to put in place some cheap RAID 5.0
Just aggregates small HDD, in order to have a set of at least 3 equal size virtual HDDs (using RAID 0), and put all of this together as a RAID 5.
There you cheap storage, useful and secure...
Even if a few of those disks die, you still can replace them by a newer with the good size (or even a greater one). (and so incrementaly getting rid of them as they die...)
