### 4 16TB drive option

169*4 + 79 + 85 + 89 + 89 = $1018

### 2 16TB drive option

169*2 + 79 + 85 + 89 + 89 = $680

### only 2 4TB drive

79 + 85 + 89 + 89 = $342

### 2 16TB drive - 16GB RAM

I think this is my option I’m leaning towards, good modular power supply, 500GB nvme from budget list.

169*2 + 79 + 85 + 30 = $532

using my existing 500Gb nvme drive

169*2 + 79 + 85 = $502

using only existing 4TB drives

79 + 85 = $164

Budget friendly build
