Seagate ST4000DX000-1C5160 [3726 GB] 4TB

IMO, really the only solution for such large amounts of data is a second nas as a backup and/or to alternate with.
For example, instead of trying to upgrade from 6x 2tb, to 6x 4tb, a second 6bay device with the new 6x 4tb drives would make the most sense.
Since you would need some place to backup ~8tb of data before you could factory reset with the new drives anyway.
If you have 15tb of data and no backup, your priorities are totally out of wack! :shock:
