Been looking at a NAS myself, after working to replace my old computer that had 12 x SATA devices whereas the new only supports 4.
Course, to get a good NAS you've got to spend quite a bit as well...
Those 22TB drives are expensive now, yet it feels like a bad idea to buy a 8-12TB one when you can get a bigger without an astronomic price increase.
But I guess they might also become more expensive, as the RAM prices have..
Another issue is if you buy a few 8TB drives and one fails, you've only lost 8TB, whereas if you can only buy 1 or 2 22TB ones... and that one breaks, you've lost a "years worth of downloads".
