I've got a DS1513+ I bought in early 2015, and have been riding the cusp of max capacity for nearly a year. (RAID 5 configuration with 5 x 4 TB WD Red drives, so ~ 16 TB). I've scrubbed through my data on several occasions removing media where I can, but I'm at the point where I can't continue backing up my family's media and keep the movies and home videos that have consumed much of my NAS's storage.
I should also mention I have a Netgear R9000 (with 10 Gbe) that I've been wanting to take advantage of since 2018.
Considering the DS1621xs or the QNAP TVS-x72xt (6 or 8 bay) for my next major upgrade and will donate my 1315+ to my in-laws with family archive redundancies for them to watch at their own home.
The whole family are heavy PLEX users.
What's your recommendation? And what options (adding more memory or SSDs to the new systems) should I really consider before moving forward with this much needed upgrade? I do have several 4K UHD movies we enjoy watching and the current Synology system can barely (if ever) keep up.
Thank you kindly in advance.
