RN31400 max capacity
Hi! WD RED 6 TB is on the hardware compatibility list, but according to specs the maximum capacity is 16 TB. If you install 3 X 6 TB with raid 5, how much actual space do you get, and what happens ...
Yes, typed it wrong. I just edited it.

Well, ~16 TiB really. But of course Microsoft and others insist on labeling it TB.
