It seems to be legitimate, more something to do for fun, for ideological reasons, or to be a willing participant, than for profit.It is also important to remember that it is not cost effective to buy any hardware with the sole purpose of using it only for Storj. ROI can take years or you may never recover the entire amount invested at all. This is because running a storage node on the Storj network is not like mining cryptocurrencies - space and bandwidth are used by real people, not computers. So there will not be a predictable stream of income, and your setup will only be profitable if your hardware would be running and online anyway regardless of your participating in the Storj Network.
Given that by my estimation that rig has cost the OP over £1000 (those HDDs seem to be around £150 each secondhand/refurbished) and storj's decentralisation policy (having more available space behind a single public IP address doesn't give more usage) it's going to take a while to recover that.
And that's ignoring running costs and charges incurred converting STORJ tokens into real money.
