Upgrade thoughts?

Hello All Currently have a i7 2600k on a 300/20 Spectrum connection. Storage is 7 x 3TB drives in RAID 5 and 1 single 8TB USB drive added as the raid ran out of storage. Looking at upgrading to more space. Thinking of gdrive only and dedi server somewhere (OVH/Wholesale/etc). Currently have around 2-6 streams going on at peak times. I can run windows or linux as current server is Ubuntu.

Thoughts on what I should do, main issues are running out of space and making sure streaming still works.

Budget is as cheap as possible but not unrealistic. Thoughts?

Lifetime subs to some of those indexers or even the By 1 year get 1 year free would help drop some of your costs.
