Hello, I watch your channel all the time when I have NAS questions, so I wanted to start off by saying thank you.
I'm currently running a Synology 1019+ mainly as a PLEX server. Its fully loaded with 5 x 16TB Ironwolf HDDs (It's frustrating that I lose 1.4 TB on each drive just to use them, but thats another topic)
Im at about 80% capacity and I want to upgrade the drives. Synology support says that while I "can" put 5 new 24tb Exos drives in the NAS, they can't verify its reliability and functionality.
Do you have any input or previous dealings with going over manufacture specified drive capacity?
I can always add a DX517 expansion, but would rather upgrade the drive first before expanding. (Unless you recommend differently)
I'd love to get a NAS that had a larger drive bay capacity, but none of the larger Syno's have the Celeron capable of Hardware Transcoding.
Any input you can provide is greatly appreciated, and thank you again for all your informative videos!!!
