I don't know if this is the correct section to ask this but I was trying to find a specific solution to my question and didn't find anything.
I got the current situation. I'm currently mounting a 3tb NAS HDD and I have 3 more slots to extend. I want to create a RAID 5 and I want each one to be 4tb. I was thinking to buy a 4tb one and replicate (which I don't know really how to do it) from the 3tb. Another choice is to buy two 4tb and create a RAID 5 so in the long-term I'd replace the 3tb one for a 4tb and I was wondering if this could lead to parity problems since they have different sizes?
Which choice do you think is the more easiest and manageable?
