I've got Windows Server 2025 on a machine that contains 4x8TB drives (in RAID 0 (bad i know)) and two 18TB drives just on their own separately.
I'm looking to figure out what I need to save up for to move expand my storage into a protected way.
My immediate thought is to buy 6x 28TB drives from serverpartdeals and run them in RAID 6 so there is protection and with 4x 28TB it would be enough space for me to move all my data from my current drives over.
But then how can I utilize the old drives once ive moved the data? Is that even possible since they're the wrong capacity? And how can I have my RAID 6 be expandable because I will run out of space again. I used up all my space extremely quickly.
My machine has to run Windows Server 2025 because of certain apps that only exist for Windows. I do have Docker Desktop running things like NGINX though
