Although... thinking about it more.
25watts running 24 hours a day is about $54 of power a year.
That means you have to spend less than $54 to get a payback within one year.
More than a year and SSD's will probably have doubled in capacity and
halved in price.

I would tend to hold on and spend that $54 on the power to maintain your
status quo and wait till solid state drives come down a bit more in price
and expand in size.

Then you can replace all your hard disks with SSD's, spend a lot less
money, get more capacity and also reduce your power bill from that point
forward.

$54 does not buy a lot of hardware right now that is going to really give
you the capacity you are likely to need over the next 2 to 3 years and you
will probably find yourself running out of space and needing to spend more
money than what you will save in power over that period of time.
