What do you need it for? Using just HDD this server will be kinda slow. If this is just about storage, I'd recommend getting a good VPS from Hetzner, Netcup or php-friends and extend storage using a Hetzner Storage Box. 1TB for just 3,xx EUR or 5TB for around 12 EUR.
As a benefit you'll not have to deal with failing drives and you do easy backups using snapshots.

How is the speed of the storage box? How do you connect to your VPS? Samba?
I am using cifs. There may be some ups and downs, depending on decryption, filesize and stuff, but in general I can pretty much use the full Gbit connection. The lowest transfer I can remember was 58 or 59 MB/s when I transfered a lot of small files.
Thanks!
