About to run out of space on my Synology DS920+ with 2 10TB EXOs (3.5 years old) in it. (2/4 bays used)

Raid is SHR

I am looking at 1 more for now (I think this makes sense)

10tb Exos £199

16tb Exos £279

Either will give me 9.1tb extra of space - while the 16tb would allow me to go to 32.7TB while the 10TB only to 27.3tb

Is it worth going toward 16TB to try and get more space in the future?

Extra info

  • Currently, it looks like we fill just under 2TB per year 90% is photos/videos - but I would expect this to grow with the family and technology.
    • So I would expect the next HDD purchase to be in 3 years - but also the warranty on exoes I believe is 7years, so at this point should I be thinking of replacing my 10TBs?
  • I run a youtube which accounts for 0.5tb over the last 1.5years but likely to move this to long term storage while new projects will be larger.
