would this be a suitable system to use as additional storage without having to build an additional server?

That drive would not be optimum for hardware raid because it does not support TLER. Other than that it seems like a fair price
Quick edit for better eplanation:
"The moral of this story is that typical consumer grade (green) drives have data error timeouts that are far longer than the drive offline timeout of typical RAID controllers, and without some form of TLER, two bad sectors (totaling 1024 bytes) is all that's required to put multiple terabytes of data in grave danger."

I was going to ask you that very question,...if this is what you wanted to use it for,....and from your question it seems that it will be good for you without having to build an additional server.
