I seem to be sinking under a pile of spare hard drives at the moment -
typically 2.5" 500GB ones.

My immediate thought is that, by the time you've bought the hardware
needed to achieve this (caddies, etc. especially, as you mention them)
it would be cheaper to buy a few big drives. Buy just three and you can
do RAID5 (=fault tolerance).

I can get basic USB2 caddies for about £3.50, so say £25 for 3 gig. For
the drives you shove in the main box, one does not even need to use the
box that comes with them, just the SATA header.
