I've been running this for years and it's pretty solid but I'm out of space. Seems like it would be cheaper at this point to go to less drives. This thing just serves my family plex.

https://www.raid-calculator.com/default.aspx Tells me 7x read speed and one drive failure. I don't need backups and the parity is more just for convenience.

With newer larger drives would I even need all that read speed? I run Windows server since I know it. Not wanting to buy any new HW beyond drives. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
