Hi everyone
My little Synology system is filling up and I'm wondering what to do.. I'm looking at trying to get a couple drives to fit in there for some extra storage (I think an extra pair of drives should give me a little more time before replacing all 6 drives I currently have ) but I was wondering what size to go for...
Currently I've 4Tb drives, so I was looking at anything above 8Tb for the extra two drives. I was wondering about the following -
I know some are against Seagate and I can understand that everyone has their own preference, but with Toshiba drives and WD the only ones I can see for the moment, these are the best price/size I can find..
I was toying with the idea of going for Pro drives, not because of the data writes etc but for the extra warranty and the data recovery that comes with it.
So back to the size question.. (ooo er misses!!) I've about 4.5Tb of data already to go on these new drives, so if I get 8Tb I'm not really giving myself masses of space (3.5Tb might last a while but.. I don't want to buy and then a year later buy again...) so my question is, what size would you go for? I've added a little poll, so if you'd like to vote an option, I'd be grateful I've hopefully included enough options
I believe @qubit has a Seagate drive or two and I think all going well so far for him?
Hopefully I've not bored anyone to death!! Thanks all!!
