Nitpick: In addition to the savings of $688 for the SATA card, you also have to include a savings of about $1400 for the five 4TB drives that won't be included.

Nitpick: In addition to the savings of $688 for the SATA card, you also have to include a savings of about $1400 for the five 4TB drives that won't be included. That bumps the savings on the pod to just over 22%.
Still, at least 12% extra rack and floor space to get the same storage capacity would probably cost them more in the long run.
