My 12-bay NAS has only about 10TB left. That’ll last a while, but Linux repos add up.

What are my options for increasing?

  1. Are the Synology expansion units recommended?

  2. Get a whole 'nother 12-bay and just use it separately?

  3. …??? Not sure.

I’m definitely a novice at network/computer stuff. Any tips?

      Twelve bays, each with 14TB. I don’t need/use it for anything other than storage, really. A couple small-level docker things.

        As you’re already using large disks if I was in your situation I’d 100% get an expansion.

    1. You could add more with a usb/thunderbolt/sas jbod expansion.

    2. Buy a bigger unit, transfer the drives and sell the old one

    3. Clustering/hyperconverged with truenas or ceph
