When I got one cheap with 4TB drives I pulled them out, wiped them, ran the self-tests on them, and sold them on. They sold fairly fast, but I was only asking the bottom price for tested drives among other similar ones on Ebay. The NAS, or just the main circuit board from it, looked like it could be handy for roles like an x86_64 single-board-computer. So I listed it for more than it was worth to me as an SBC thinking it might not sell based on other listings, but it did. It was probably better than your one though. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
