LaCie 8Big Thunderbolt 2
I used this for my business (branding and web design agency) and it's been in storage since we moved offices. We no longer need it as we now all work from home.

The unit beeps a warning sound when turned on, it can be easily silenced by pressing the 'silence' button on the front. I think the warning beep seems to have something to do with the PSU. The unit comes with two internal PSUs and after some research, it seems the DPS-250AB-81A from Delta Electronics would work as replacements should you decide to.

Good luck with the auction.

General information:

The LaCie 8Big 32TB Thunderbolt 2 Rack RAID 8-Bay 8x4TB Storage Mount Enclosure Rail is an external drive with a storage capacity of 32TB. It has a read speed of 1330MB/s and is compatible with both PC and Mac. The drive supports both HDD and SSD drive types, has a form factor of 3.5 inches, and an interface of Thunderbolt 2. This product comes with features such as removable drive cartridges and secure encryption.

The LaCie 8big is a rackmount direct-attached storage, or DAS. Connect it to a computer that supports Thunderbolt 2 technology for transfer rates that reach up to 20Gb/s. LaCie has constructed the LaCie 8big to handle bandwidth-intensive content such as 4K video and 3D graphics. This means that professional editors, photographers, and graphic artists get the highest performing storage for their most challenging projects.

With this kind of speed, videographers can work directly from RAW files in Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, get maximum quality from footage, and see edits in real time. No need to first convert footage into a lower resolution. Avid Pro Tools users will notice incredibly smooth audio mixing, even when working with hundreds of tracks simultaneously. Professional photography agencies and other Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture users can browse through archived libraries of thousands of RAW and edited images, with zero lag.
