Are you replacing the 500GB disks with 1TB disks in the Thumbers?
Unless "no redundancy" really truly means "it's fine if it breaks a
lot", then please keep in mind the numbers. 40+ disks are that many
times more likely to fail than one disk. Don't just stripe all the
disks into one big volume. Either keep them as separate devices so
they fail individually or use RAID5 or (better) RAID6 and keep plenty
spares ready. Your plan of doing RAID in sets of 8 or so disks is
probably about right.
