Dual redundancy uses 2 disks worth of space for parity.
So, with a 6 bay device, minus 2 drives, the amount of usable space is 4x the drive size, minus overheads etc.
Ch 1 : Seagate ST4000DX000-1C5160 [3726 GB]
3721 GB allocated
using the above drive, 3721 * 4 = a little less than 14884 gb or 14.8ish tb usable
assuming a 3tb drives gives ~2790 gb, 4x 2790 = 11160 gb or 11ish tb usable
