On the NAS topic, dipped my toe in the NAS thing about a year ago by getting a small 2x2tb setup, which is now getting close to full (around 70% or so). Is it worth upgrading to a 4-bay or would it be perfectly fine to just grab a pair of higher storage drives and keep the current 2-bay? I'm happy enough with the drives just mirroring, but am aware I'm limited to 50% of the total capacity vs 75% or so with a 4 bay.

Edit: After about 5 mins thinking, I'm going for a 4-bay, guessing it's the obvious choice.

Might be worth thinking about how much of your stuff really needs mirroring.

I realised that the vast majority of stuff I had was easily replaceable so ended up doing away with mirroring and just backing up the important stuff to OneDrive (which gives 1tb)

Yeah that's a valid point, most of it is just films/music that can easily be re-downloaded.

Just checked and I also have 1tb of OneDrive space that I haven't used, so will likely just do the same as what you are. Thanks for the tip!
