Definitely getting the new NAS box, the Synology DS1821+ but with the 10Gbps network card, 64GB RAM and 2 x 1TB SSDs for the SSD cache... and along with the 8 x 16TB HDDs in SHR with BTRFS I should have 112TB usable space with 1 parity and BTRFS metadata allowing any 2 drives to fail.
The old DS1817+ box... may well keep it as a local backup and very slowly upgrade it if no-one is interested in the whole thing at £1k. Reformatted to SHR + BTRFS would give me 28TB worth of local backup, which should be enough for a year or so... but as SHR I only need replace two of the 4TB drives with 16TB drives to get the storage to 40TB usable, and so the backup can grow alongside my actual usage.
