Ultra Nas 6 with 3 WD 3TB drives only shows 5.5TB
Hello, I just got an Ultra Nas 6 to replace my NV+ and have equipped it with 3 WD red 3tb drives, however, rather than somewhere near 9TB available, it only shows 5.5TB available.... That seems like...
That is expected, you can test it with the calculator. To approximate the space, take away the largest drive and sum the rest (3x2TB=6TB, 2x3TB=6TB).

Well, you could of course try the calculator... :shock: 6x3TB-> about 15 TB, 6x2TB-> about 10 TB.
