I currently have an Asustor NAS (first NAS I've owned). And I'm getting close to maxing it out. I read there is an expansion unit I can buy which will get me a few more drive slots, but after that, I'm kinda out of luck.

My question is how do you scale your data storage solution? To me it's really awesome to just have one single connection and see all my data. I could of course add another NAS and just keep it completely separate and decide which files go on which NAS (maybe each has it's own purpose). But that is a lot of overhead and management required.

I'm not even sure it's possible to combine NAS devices infinitely like I'm wanting to do. Or maybe it's possible with another solution but not Asustor?

(I know I'm a bit premature in asking this, and planning for unlimited scability isn't totally necessary, but also don't wanna continue investing in Asustor devices if there is a better alternative out there.)
