My 12-bay NAS has only about 10TB left. That’ll last a while, but Linux repos add up.
What are my options for increasing?
-
Are the Synology expansion units recommended?
-
Get a whole 'nother 12-bay and just use it separately?
-
…??? Not sure.
I’m definitely a novice at network/computer stuff. Any tips?
Some more info would be nice, like what size are the drives you’re using atm?
Twelve bays, each with 14TB. I don’t need/use it for anything other than storage, really. A couple small-level docker things.
As you’re already using large disks if I was in your situation I’d 100% get an expansion.

You could add more with a usb/thunderbolt/sas jbod expansion.
-
Buy a bigger unit, transfer the drives and sell the old one
-
Clustering/hyperconverged with truenas or ceph
