Whatever you do, choosing drives for the NAS these are what to look for in order:

1) NAS rated/class drive eg Western Digital Red
2) Capacity as largest you can afford and the NAS supports, 8TB may be a good price point and been around long enough for NAS updates to allow support.
Longer term aim to fill the slots with identical drives, prices generally drop over time so you should be able to expand as you can afford.
Cheers Sil,

I installed 4 x 4tb identical Seagate Ironwolf drives. So far so good
