The Problem

Users managing NAS systems, storage shelves, and personal servers struggle with storage capacity decisions. They face complex choices about drive sizes, RAID configurations, and upgrade paths, often unsure whether to replace drives, add more bays, or restructure their setup entirely. This confusion leads to either expensive over-provisioning or prolonged research and manual planning.

Potential Solution

A software tool that analyzes a user's current storage setup (drive count, capacity, RAID level, current usage), projects growth based on their workload, and recommends specific upgrade paths with cost comparisons. The tool provides step-by-step migration guides, compatibility checks for drives and hardware, and calculates usable capacity across different RAID configurations to prevent costly mistakes.

Why Now?

Storage demands are exploding with 4K video production, large media libraries (Plex/Radarr), and growing file collections. Users increasingly need guidance as they hit capacity limits, and DIY NAS/storage solutions are becoming more popular, creating a gap for practical decision-support tools.
