Thanks for reaching out—and yes, seagulls are the worst! ? Really appreciate you watching the channel.
You’re on the right path planning your upgrade. Since you already have 2x16TB in SHR1 and plan to grow to 40–60TB, I'd lean toward the DS1522+. It gives you 5 bays (plus expansion), ECC RAM, optional 10GbE, and solid long-term flexibility. Perfect for a growing archive.
The DS925+ looks interesting with the 4-core AMD chip, but yeah—early info suggests no 10GbE upgrade slot and it's still stuck at 4 bays with no expansion support. So while it’s a CPU bump, it feels like a step back in scalability.
If you're thinking long term, the 1522+ still wins overall.
