I've been running four servers for the last 3 years at home.
My main work server has a raid10 with WD 4tb drives, and is a lenovo thinkserver similar to this: https://www.ebuyer.com/770312-lenovo-thinkserver-ts150-70lv-pentium-g4400-3-... The power usage won't be that of a mini-server but that doesn't mean you're consuming hoards of electricity. I find my bills pretty low considering I'm working from home and have these powered up 24/7. This machine has proven to be extremely robust, and haven't had any issues.
OK, with the link you found on ebuyer https://www.ebuyer.com/770312-lenovo-thinkserver-ts150-70lv-pentium-g4400-3-... and I think the same machine here https://www.serversdirect.co.uk/p/1182461/lenovo-thinkserver-ts150-intel-pen...
and a PDF here https://www.serversdirect.co.uk/PDFs/70LV003EEA_2_3400225_Original.pdf?v=7
Ebuyer has the "Official" disks, but they cost £Megabucks, so I am disinclined to use them. https://www.ebuyer.com/792385-lenovo-2tb-sata-6gb-s-3-5-hard-drive-4xb0g8875...
Did you use Lenovo or IBM disks, or generic ones?
Comments make mention of a drive holder/drive caddy that is not supplied with the machine. Does yours require these?
