Ready NAS316 capacity

I have 2 x 12TB Hard disks and 4 x 6TB hard drives,

 

Acknolwedges 12TB HD as 10.9 TB capacity but the whole volume only reads 27.27 TB.

 

netgear raid calculator says it should read 32.7 TB.

 

Any ideas?

  • Are you using X-Raid = 32.7 TiB or Flex-Raid, RAID 5 = 27.2 TiB ?

    Best switch to X-Raid I think using Admin Page System: Volumes

        Did you reboot the NAS after the 12 TB drives synced?  Usually that is needed to trigger vertical expansion.
