Hey there! Great choice with the Synology DS923+ for your media server. The good news is, yes, you can absolutely upgrade your drives one at a time as your budget allows. The DS923+ supports Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR), which allows you to mix and match drive capacities. So, starting with your existing 2TB WD Red drives is perfectly fine. When you're ready to expand, simply swap out one drive at a time with higher-capacity ones, and the system will automatically optimize the storage for you.
