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 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?
It's fine lol. if you look back on past deals you'll see an endless ocean of "inb4 shuck" comments. It's kind of a tradition at this point. If you're just using it for additional storage, there's no reason to shuck it. people usually buy these in bulk to use in special enclosures, but if you're not doing that there's no real benefit aside from less clutter and negligible reduction in power usage (this comes with it's own "wall wart" power supply), but this doesn't really become a factor unless you're running several of them.

Ordered one. Thanks for posting. Rolling a nas with rpi 4 and consolidating a bunch of drives. Saving power over my t110.

This is the lowest the 14TB easystore has ever been. For all of you waiting for the $200 deal, enjoy the extra cash in your pocket and happy shucking!
Actually $180 was the lowest earlier this year from Best Buy just before the shutdown. Hit like at 1am and was sold out in an hour.

Quote from BlueDeer4542 :
Can you guys really tell the difference between a 60 GB blu-ray remux vs a 6-10 GB HEVC reencode? Seems like a collosal waste of capacity.
You can easily tell if you've got an 80" 4K TV. The larger the screen/resolution, the easier it is to see the difference. 40" 4K? Probably. 27" 4K? You're hitting diminishing returns. Many people who run Plex servers are providing content for a more than just themselves, so the more storage prices decrease, the more we err on the side of fidelity.

So I guess that $180 price never made it to slick deal ?

Amazon may choose to in order to compete but they don't match other retailers upon request.
