I couldn't find a general Synology/NAS thread, apologies if there is one.

I currently have a Synology DS920+ (4 bay NAS) with 4x 14TB WD RED.
It's starting to reach capacity using Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR).

What would be the best upgrade route to expand storage?
  1. I've read that the DX517 expansion enclosure is supported by the DS920+, but it's not far off the price of a full 4-bay NAS.
  2. A second full 4/5 bay Synology NAS.
  3. Switch to a 6/8 bay Synology NAS. This is probably expensive and difficult if it requires having new one setup to transfer before selling current setup.
  4. Upgrading the drives to larger capacity in my current NAS, although I think it only supports up to 16TB. Drives start at £320 on OcUK it seems.
Any advice or route others have taken before?

Thanks
