Yes, DS1621+ / DS1821+ would be a logical next move. RS1221+ would be similar performance option, but much louder. Having a PCIe slot is a way to future proof your NAS. You can use load balancing via 4XLAN ports, but 10GbE would allow faster backups, file transfers / direct editing.I would also consider having fewer drives but bigger in size. You can then add more drives when necessary. This way you save on energy bill and also make sure drives come from a different batch and therefore less likely to fail in a similar timeframe.I hope this helps.
