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.

Thanks OP. Needed a drive to backup decades of stuff since college. Re'ped.

FYI this item falls within the extended holiday return policy:

You know what to do if something better/cheaper comes along on Black Friday Wink

Yep. I am already returning my 12TB drives I got from Amazon a few weeks back. Extended holiday returns are the best!

Ok so i have a Synology 4bay NAS with 2x8TB. I just bought 2 of these 14TB, you ppl think should I get another pair? The available storage in SHR would be 30TB vs 42TB.

I have 4x12TB running on SHR on a Synology D1019S. According to the Synology Raid Calculator, I'm wasting 2TB of space if I use 14TB as the 5th drive. Any recommendations to not have this wasted space?
2 x 14TB. You need to buy a pair of largest size to avoid waste. I use DS1019+, now 5 x12TB, just bought 2x 14TB.

Where do you sell your used drive to get better money?
