I imagine that others, like me, have accumulated a pile of lower capacity drives from past NAS/home servers. Has anyone found a meaningful use for these? (Meaningful meaning that either they are used for some functional purpose, or disposed in a way that allows some recovery of value.)
I tried listing them on the local Craigslist but no one seems to want these things. I was toying with the idea of finding a really cheap, slow 8-bay NAS and using them for quarterly or semi-annual archive from a main NAS but this seems like a lot of work.
Curious to hear what others have done.
