RN31400 increase space needed with EDA500

Hi jonl0711, here my 2 cents:

0) Decide whether you want to go with a new NAS or stay with your current equipment (imho it does not make sense to buy the new disks for your current solution and migrate them after 6 months to a new nas)

1) Decide how much space you want to have available in the end

2) Decide how much redundancy you need (eg RAID5, RAID6, etc)

3) Determine the number of disks you need for your solution

4) Determine which box you need to hold the disks

Example solution:

0) You go for a new nas and want to have a single box for simplicity reason

1) You want to have 24TB available for net usage in the new box

2) You want to be protected against 2 disks getting faulty at the same time (RAID6)

3) You need 6x6TB disks to achieve that (36TB total space minus 12TB space redundancy leaving 24TB for net usage)

4) You need a box with 6 slots like RN426, RN526, RN626 or something similar of a different brand depending on your preferences and specific needs.

Happy deciding and kind regards
