Hi KARREV,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

It is possible that your current RAID configuration is RAID-1 (mirror) that's why your total volume capacity is just half of what you're expecting. If you want to maximize the total capacity of both drives, you need to destroy the volume and build a new volume with Flex-RAID 0 or JBOD. Lastly, can you confirm if the X-RAID button under System -> Volumes is ticked? 

 

 

Kind regards,

Hi, I am using X raid and I have 4X 4TB hard disk installed. Is it normal that I could only see10.9 TB in total?

 

I was wondering if I would like to expand the total 16 TB to 24 TB, what is the best way to do it? 

 

Thank you very much

 

Keith
