Hey all. I set up my first home media server last month using a UGreen DXP2800, but I started with 2 8TB drives in a RAID1. I quickly discovered this was going to be too small and upgraded to a pair of 16TB drives instead. Now I have these other 2 drives and I'd like to sell them. They're Seagate Ironwolf Pro NAS drives. I hate putting stuff on ebay because of the cut they take. Any suggestions for selling tech stuff to other tech users?

Hey all. So I installed my DXP2800 in late Feb, early March. I paid my electricity bill last week and it was high, but chalked it up to MN winter temps. I was looking at a graph today, and it says we used 57% more electric in March YoY. Wtf? Does this thing use that much juice? I thought they sip, not guzzle. I have it set up with a Plex account for streaming movies, but I've only watched a few movies. I just now considered that maybe ripping all of my 130+ movies may have contributed but I don't know enough to confirm that. Any ideas? Am I crazy?
