Hey folks, happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!

I have a Synology DS1821+ that I have completely filled. I’m looking for expanding, but I don’t really want to completely replace the Synology yet.

Does anyone know if there is a way to expand the number of drives? I’ve heard murmers that I can use a DAS, but nothing for sure. Wondering if anyone has attempted this before. Thanks!

    This is the answer. Just buy bigger drives, and replace them one at a time and let them resize.

    Anyone saying to buy expansion units is wrong. It works like ZFS or btrfs, and very seamlessly. I’ve upgraded my drives 4 times with zero issues.
