Seagate ST4000DX000-1C5160 [3726 GB] 4TB

14884gb is actually about 14.5TB. The GB measurements shown in Frontview treat 1KB = 1024 bytes, so your calculations should show 14884 / 1024 = 14.54 TB. Using 1KB = 1000 bytes you'd get 14884 / 1000^3 * 1024^3 / 1000 = 15.98TB. The overheads are actually quite minimal, it's the differences in measurement units that explain most of the discrepancy. Of course there is a 4GB OS partition on each of the disks that is on a separate partition.
My estimate of 11TB in my post above was an overestimate, I had been thinking about number of GB / 1000 too, so i would actually be a bit under 11TB with 6x3TB disks.
