Been a proud user of xpenology for a few years now and my current setup is with N54L 4x4TB disk SHR (usable space 12TB). Now I'm coming to the point where I need more space. What would be the most reasonable upgrade between,
- adding 5th disk to the array, this option is free for me as I have a few 4TB disk laying around and I can fit up to 5 disks in box.
or
- upgrade the whole array (probably with 4x8tb disks). This will cost me around 1200USD with black Friday price.
My concern is that I think somewhere in the future, I would build a new box completely and most likely probably easier to stay on 4 disks array as I could use DS915+ loader or may be not?

What's your idea?
Thanks in advance.
