First of all, thanks for the shout-out! We appreciate your support.
Now, regarding your question about having a large single volume vs. multiple volumes on your NAS after upgrading your drives, it really depends on your preferences and how you plan to use the storage. If you create multiple volumes, it can make management more straightforward, as you can allocate different volumes for specific purposes. For instance, one volume for personal files, another for media, and so on.
However, it's important to note that once you create a volume, you can't shrink its size, so make sure you plan ahead. When you click on "Expand Capacity," it typically extends the existing volume to use all the available space. If you prefer having multiple smaller volumes to better organize your data, create them before expanding capacity to make sure your new drives are utilized as intended.
