Social Distancing, so I am being told to avoid people and sit in front of a computer all day, I have been doing that since I was 12...

Social distancing, antisocial distancing, I'm fine with both.

... I decided to do some housekeeping, and clear old crap off my NAS.
It's a 16TB Seagate BlackArmor (4 by 4TB spinners) set as RAID5, so I get a total of 11TB of storage - and I'm a data-rat, I keep everything.
But ... it was under 10% free, so the time had come. And with trepidation I told my system to select 5.3TB of old data and ... gulp ... delete it permanently. This was not an easy "OK" button to press.
All gone, never to be restored. I feel emptier somehow ...
And look at all that space! My explorer window has echoes now.

I have a few Terabyte of files I've hoarded that I know I will most probably never look at again.
But do you think I can make myself delete them? Nooooo!
Instead I'm getting ready to buy two 10 Tb disks to replace my 5 x 3 Tb just to prolong the suffering and lighten the wallet.

Some of it I imported from the previous 4TB NAS when I upgraded between 7 and 10 years ago, and some of that Came from the one before that (1TB)!
It was a wrench to press "OK", but I feel better for it. Honest.
The problem with 2 * 10TB is that you can't run RAID5, so a disk failure will lose you data.
I had a disk fail on my old 4 * 1TB NAS and it was no drama - new disk, insert, and it automatically regenerated the content. I could use the NAS the whole time, no data down time.
If one goes on a 2 disk system ... ouch.

I don't use RAID anyway. The 5 x 3 Tb I've got are all single disks. I normally upgrade them before it gets to be a problem. I know it's not the best solution, but I don't store any important backups on them anyway.

Mmmhh... I have 2x4Tb, and Raid 1, so 4Tb storage. If one disk fail, the other has a copy of the data.

I figured if I went through comments, I'd see someone else who does it that way.

If you do regular (that is, at least daily) incremental backups, you could rather keep one of the two disks offsite, e.g. at your office. After each work session, you copy updated files to a USB stick, and the next day at the office, you flush the stick onto the second disk.
There is a risk of your home disk crashing between your file editing and your incremental backup. But you gain the extra security of having an offsite copy. The offsite copy would usually be unplugged when you are not flushing files from the USB stick onto it, so no malware (e.g. ransomware) can attack the files. The disk is usually unplugged from the power supply when not in use, so it won't be affected by voltage spikes or other irregularities that could affect the drive mechanically or electronically. If I make a grave mistake, overwriting or erasing the wrong files, one copy is still intact in the offsite copy and can be recovered.
While RAID 1 is simple and convenient, it doesn't provide the protection that I want.

Yep. Backups should be a separate system from "regular data", even if your NAS is RAID. No backups can still leave you with no data if (for example) you are burgled.
And the number of people who consider GitHub to be a backup system is growing ...
