SHR always uses one drive with the largest capacity for parity, so putting one 14TB in won't get you anything more than what the Synology has now. You will want to buy at least two 14TB drives. Replace one drive, wait for SHR to rebuild, then repeat with the other new drive. You will end up with 2TB more than current. If you were to replace all four 12TB drives, you would end up with 6TB more than current.
The golden question, what's inside?

Extended returns in effect if you're on the fence.


Purchases made October 13, 2020 through January 2, 2021 have an extended return period through January 16, 2021
These won't get lower. BB does this every year, they offer the BF pricing a few weeks ahead of BF and then again at BF. I buy their BF special drives every year and upgrade both my servers and sell off the drives from the year before. It's the exact same scenario every time. This year it's the 14TB. Last year was the 12TB, 10 before that and 8 before that.

If anyone is scared of a better deal (there won't be, this is the BF pricing) the extended BB returns is in effect. You have until Jan 16th to return things at BB

SHITE! I bought the 12TB a couple of weeks ago Frown I opened the box but never used it. Will BB still let me return it?

Also I read somewhere that the 12TB is more reliable than the 14TB. Any truth to that?

Not trying to be a dick but what are some things people need this much capacity for?
downloaders of movies, tv, music and porn. At 4k and now 8k, 14 tb does not go very far.

4K remuxes are easily 60GB each, more if you want 1:1 copy of the disc with menus and extras.

Prove it
Looks like mods have now mixed the multiple posts together. The one I posted that on was timed at 1:22 AM my time, the one before it at 1:15 AM. I had already gone to Best Buy and picked one up from the 1:15 post, the 1:22 one came after I had already bought. It's not really important, it's just horsing around anyway, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Valid points. I'm still in the age of DiVX 700mb files.

I now have a DV capable tv, and my old 4k goes into the living room. So for some movies, I have a 1080p copy, a 4k remux, and a 4k DV Remux. For something like Superman 1978, I have 220GB in files.

Any chances that this will go lower for Black Friday?
There's always a chance but I can guarantee it won't be any more than a $10 difference. That or we see a 16TB for $200 though I highly doubt that happening with demand at record levels.

Thanks and sorry I was the one lol. I have a plex server and currently have a full 8tb and needed to upgrade. I just plug it into the back of my gaming pc and leave it on 247. Is there a better route to take than that?
I believe if it is schucked cleanly you can slap it back in the case and have it serviced if needed
