I've got one of these coming really soon. It has RAM upgrades to 32MB and a 10Gbe network card.

I'm thinking about 12 TB drives in it. I have about 70TB of stuff to move across...

I'm looking at RAID6 and one volume. I've read that some people grab drives out of WD elements external drives. Is this a good idea? The NAS will be in a study, so noise isn't that important, but prefer quiet!

Is buying them secondhand on eBay a good idea? They seem pretty expensive...

I have 4x14TB ironwolf drives in a current NAS. I think I can add these to a RAID6 once I've set it up with 8 drives.

Should I use larger drives and not use all the bays?

Thanks for any help
