Basically I have a DS920+ I'm using as a dedicated Plex server.
I'm currently running 4x 16 TB Iron Wolf Pro's in Raid 10 Configuration which effectively gives me about 29 TB's of usable storage.
The problem is I'm down to my last 3 TB and need to start planning next steps.
Here's where I need your advice, which of the following do I do and how?
Option 1) Upgrade all the HDD's to 20 TB Seagate Exos or Ironwolf PRO (I'm not sure which one is better). If I went with this option I would love some advice on how to go about doing this.
Option 2) Purchase the DX517 and just use the expansion and add to my config. Honestly have no idea how this works.
Option 3) Something else entirely I haven't thought of.
I'd love to know how to proceed - please and thank you in advance!
