NAS capacity increase - Enquiries - 03-04-2023
Hi - Ive been running a 4 bay Asustor AS5304T for the last few years, but ive now reached the storage capacity limit.
Im currently running a Celeron 1.50Ghz / 4Gb RAM / 21Tb HDD (28Tb RAID 5) system.
The main use is as a Plex 4k media streamer, but it's also a file store / backup host.
What are the best value for money HDDs I should go for, looking at Plex / 4k media optimisation if there is that option?
Re capacity, ballpark of double the 21Tb (28Tb RAID5) I have today, but new capacity depending on recommended disc price.
Thanks,
Duncan

I have just made a post about HDDs actually.
Have a look here https://nascompares.com/answer/choose-the-best-drives-for-my-synology-qnap-asustor-and-terramaster-how-to-make-sense-from-spec-sheet/
Then price per TB will help https://nascompares.com/answer/hdd-price-per-tb/
