We currently back up users' files to the ReadyNAS, but I don't think they take up enough space to fill up 27TB. Are there some temporary files/caches that I could clear out? Thanks for any help!
Do you have snapshots enabled on any shares? If you do, then I'd start by deleting the oldest. If the shares are set up to use "smart" snapshots, then I suggest changing to "custom" and explicitly limiting retention.
Once you deleted old snapshots, then you might need to run a balance from the volume settings wheel to reclaim the space.
That firmware are you running?
