request: Capacity Calculator
I'e been doing searches about how to calculate capacity for my readyNAS and I think I understand it, but it's not nearly as much fun as: http://www.drobo.com/calculator/4-bay/index.php Just look...
Ahh, thanks. I have seen that animation, but it wasn't clear how it was being calculated. The "Get rid of the largest drive (or 2 for dual drive redundancy)" is a GREAT thing to know regarding the XRAID2. That should be on an FAQ somewhere.
Not that I didn't trust you, but I wanted to see what would happen, so I factory reset my Pro 6, stuck in 4x 1.5TB drives and 2x 2TB drives to see what happened. I was a little nervous at first while it was syncing, because the same amount of space was allocated on the 2TB drive as on the 1.5TB drive (and the volume size was 6926GB), but as soon as the sync finished, it found new space and expanded the volume to 7389GB.
