I also went with 16 drives, but they were 20TB each. OP, if you don’t already have those 4tb drives, reconsider the amount and sizes. 4tb can’t be the price sweet spot for HDDs…
The price sweet spot for HDDs appears to be as high as 16 to 24 TB at the moment (at least here in the Netherlands).
You can get a 24TB Seagate Barracuda for €479,- right now, which comes out to about €20 / TB.

If I ever got a lucky Amazon mistake where I order one 4 TB drive but a box of 16 does, I would set up a full *arr stack.
Probably won’t be that lucky though.
