Hello SmplyUnprdctble,

Do you have full backup of the data? If you have, maybe you can try factory reset with all these 6TB disks inserted and create a new volume and see if that will give you the expected volume capacity.

There was an attempt at forcing a resync to get my drive that was marked as spare unmarked.
The resync never finished (the NAS kept hanging and restarting the resync).

I now see my full drive space I expect. I did firmware update as well (to hopefully prevent the aforementioned freeze).
Hopefully I'm good now.
Thanks everybody for your assistance!
