ReadyNas Pro 6 Upgrade Recommendations
Hello, I currently use a Pro 6 (4.2.26), with 6x3TB drives using X-RAID2 (with dual redundancy). I'm nearing 70% capacity and I'm trying to plan for my next upgrade path. Any advice and answers you...
Yes. Though it costs a lot more.

Getting back to tkeeler's original question...
Generally I start to get serious about upgrading when I reach about 85% capacity. That's still 2 TB in the future for you.
I suggest trying out the OS6 upgrade, but leaving the volume as xraid single redundancy. Then revisit the drive question when you get a bit more full. Prices and compatibility should be more clear then.

Since you were prepared to spend $1200 on 4x6 TB drives, then you could perhaps spend some of that money on improving your backup instead.
