Hard Drive Selection

[lorchi]

Hello together,

I would like to share my effort from yesterday. I have created an Excel sheet that takes a base system specification, a HDD catalog, and creates some efficiency figures and charts for adjustable array configurations.

Here are some screenshots:


I have collected HDD prices for Germany. You would need to add relevant HDDs (to you) to the list, and lookup the prices for your country. Someone willing to write some VBA code to collect prices from definable websites would be highly appreciated ;-)

Any other contribution or discussion welcome.
As always: Don't hold me liable for ANYTHING.

Here you can download the sheet:
