I set up Jellyfin on my main machine as a test. I enjoy the experience and want to migrate to a NAS, for better reachability in my network. I am a beginner when it comes to networks.

I currently use a single 20TB HDD (current usage 80%) and another 4TB HDD is around somewhere. I was wondering what my options and recommended solutions are. Should I get 1, 2, or more 20TB drives? I want some redundancy, but don't want to invest into too many drives.

Looking forward to any tips or resources to read up on. Thanks.

I would at least add two additional 20TB drives and put them into a raid 5. That gives you around 40TB of usuable space and you can have one disk failure.
