Generally speaking, it's a good idea to leave some open slots for expansion later on (perhaps two).  HAMR drives are beginning to come on to the market, which means that max drive sizes should continue to increase for a while.  

If you have a lot of folders or small files, you might also want to consider SSD metadata tiering when you set up your new NAS.
