Can somebody point me to something that will let me compute capacity for my Ultra-6 given number of drives (6), capacity of each (3TB), and degree of redundancy (Dual vs Single)? Tangentially and, ...

I use single redundancy, but maintain multiple backups of all my data. My overall thinking is that since I will have backups anyway, I might as well use RAID-5 and get some more capacity.
You can switch to dual-redundancy if you have an empty slot. But if all are filled you would need to do a factory reset. That would destroy all data, you'd need to restore from backup.
There is an 8 TiB growth limit (starting from initial install or last factory reset). Depending on where you started, you might not be able to reach the full capacity w/o a factory reset.
