The FAS's (the controllers) are kinda worthless unless they are running 7-mode (EOL in 2020) with the licenses already installed. If they are running ClusterMode, the licenses only work with a valid support contract (ie, worthless).
The shelves + disks, that is worth it if you have the space, tolerance for high pitch fan noise, and lots of money to spent on electricity. Seriously though, at that price, plugging in only one shelf would be worth a 20km ride to me as long as I had a decent way of transporting it (those fuckers are HEAVY fully loaded). Bouncing around in a truck with no impact absorption might be an issue.
uhhhhh.... Is 375 TB of hard drives for $1 a good deal. Imma say yeah.

Nah it’s pickup, only 20km away
THEN GO FOR IT!!
The noise and power usage is going to be pretty high.
It's a dollar.

No it's a horrible deal you can totally get something better for even 50 cents
That’s a horrible deal! Who’s your SAN guy?
