Not enterprise like these, but pretty good
Edit: neglected to say on Amazon. No link but easy to find with a search.
Two 12TB drives in RAID1 give you only 12TB of storage, not 24TB.
If you're trying to add these 14TB drives, then your best option is to make them a separate RAID volume.
If you do RAID5, then the 14TB drive would be the parity drive, so you'd end up with 24TB of space.
FWIW - RAID5 is kind of a PITA and can be slow/problematic on certain setups.

Example, existing array is RAID1 with 2x8TB for usable space of 8TB. Adding 2x14TB to this array normally nets an additional 8TB (16TB total) space because you are limited by the size of the smallest drive. In this case, 6TB is wasted.

RAID6 is much safer since it tolerates two drive failures. Maybe RAID5 if you are making regular backups (which you should be doing anyway) and your data isn't critical e.g. movie library. However, in that case, maybe unraid or something else is more suitable.
One advantage of having a tower is you won't worry about expansion in the future.
