Hey folks, happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!

I have a Synology DS1821+ that I have completely filled. I’m looking for expanding, but I don’t really want to completely replace the Synology yet.

Does anyone know if there is a way to expand the number of drives? I’ve heard murmers that I can use a DAS, but nothing for sure. Wondering if anyone has attempted this before. Thanks!

    Yeah, I wanted to and tbh that was my first approach, but I’m already at 16TB drives in there, even if I shell out a ton of money for 24TB drives I’d only add 33% more storage, so I think I have to look at either a bigger box or some sort of expansion.

      Will that sounds like the perfect “Gee I have to spend this money on something bigger and better” reason!
