Its all for my own use. Get as high of quality media as possible and I like to keep it around for friends/family (I never delete anything).
My current largest system (20x2TB disk raid6) system (36TB useable) was starting to get full (around 80%). At work they were getting rid of a ton of old servers including quite a few 3U coraid servers that are basically nice $700 supermicro chasis that hold 15 disks each and included two 8 port SATA controllers and a mobo/cpu. I decided to just use the chasis and a SAS expander to hook it up to my original system with external SFF-8088 cables for more DAS (as that is a lot better performance wise).
My previous upgrades I replaced my original disks with larger ones so I immediately ate a good amount of the disk space. This time I am just adding 84 TB (84TB usable after raid) so it should last me at least 2 years maybe a little more.
