Raid5 of three disks and keep the fourth as cold spare. That’s 16TB instead of 24, but you’re barely using your current 8, so a spare makes more sense.

Hmm I think RAID5 would be risky. If I have a 16TB array and then get a failure, resilvering would take long and that could bring a second disk down…
