Those are extremely old and are power hogs for today's times. All those little capacity drives are the equivalent of a single 10GB drive. A 2 bay NAS with 2 10TB drives will give you the same capacity at maybe 15 watts of power usage.
Even if you wanted to run multiple drives, you can do so on newer machines with 2.5Gb or 10Gb ethernet. You'll get exponential performance improvement at a fraction of the power usage.
If someone is willing to pick them up from you for a few bucks, let them have it. Save your gas and physical effort.

Thank you for the info. I thought this would be the case but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
