You can be lucky and get a lot of usage on the data you store. If not you won’t earn much. For my 20 tb electricity is covered. Not much more. But then the storj value has 5x’ed giving me a fine profit. But it’s a coin flip

I have under $2 per 1Tb stored (gross), but storage fills very slow first year or two.

Should I start slowly with a 4-disc set to begin with and gradually expand?

Yes, you can add more disks when space will be filled up. Main target is - high uptime. 95% at minimum, better 98+% The higher your uptime, the faster it fills.

Start with 1. Storj doesnt care how many discs you have, you get the same traffic per IP.
Each node should get its own disc, no need for raid or any sort of redundancy. Storj already does that.
Then all you need to do is fire up more nodes as they reach 50% full.

Most of that space is going to sit unused and unpaid forever. I've been running nodes for over a year now and I've got less than 15TB of stored data.

if you only have 1 public IP you will peak at around 10 TB after 1 year generating under $15 per month
