Usable space for 516 + 2 Expansion arrays
I am planning on buying a readynas 516 + 2x expansion arrays for a total of 16 drives. Up front I will have 7x 2tb + 9x 3tb drives and I am would like to know how much USABLE space I will end up with...
You'll end up with three volumes (on for each chassis). So the amount of space you end up with will depend on the allocation of the drives to chassis.
Assuming single redundancy, and 2 3TB drives per chassis, then the space across all three volumes would be 32TB (9 TB total used for redundancy).
