Hello together

I need a replacement for my drobo 8D. Generally I was very satisfied with it, but I need more storage and Drobo no longer makes the impression of a future-proof brand ...
My system has just under 90TB and is almost full. At the moment I'm working with Thunderbold 3 and 1TB SSD cash and I'm very happy with it (except for the cable length). For the future I would like a system that can be expanded well. I like to work with the Seagate Iron Wolf pro hard drives - that's why I'm a bit critical of Synlogy's one brand mentality. With the Drobo I always appreciate the easy management and the use of different sized HDDs. I have looked at Qnap systems - but their website is a bit confusing ...

I would be very happy to receive a recommendation and advice from you.

Many thanks and best regards
Daniel

Synology plus series models do not have drive restrictions. You would also need to add 10gbe card to gain better speeds comparable to Thunderbolt to some degree.
Otherwise, Qnap 72XT or 88X models would be an option for you.
