It didn't take long before my storage server (my NAS) filled up. The initial build had 8x500 GB hard drives installed, it gave me approx. 3.5 TB of usable space. When I consolidated my 2 previous file servers into this one, I had about 500 GB +/- a few GB of free space left over. I thought that amount of space would have lasted me a little while, but leave it to me and my brothers to continue downloading content. So it didn't take log to fill that up. I've decided to stick with the current hardware and go out and buy 8x1.5 TB to push for a new upgrade path. First I had to migrate all of my data to a different server, thankfully I haver another box, where I could put 4x1TB HDD's into RAID0 for a period just long enough to copy my data off, put the new 8x1.5 TB drives into my current storage NAS and then migrate the data back. With this upgrade, I'm sitting around 9.55 TB of usable space.....let's see how long that will last before I fill it up.
