    I have only 5tb external drive that is almost full. Like 50GB left.

    That’s just a normal thing storage devices do. Data always ends up adjusting itself to larger storage.

      Yeah I can usually free up a Terabyte of my 16TB array relatively pain free…

      Also way cheaper than upgrading.
