ultra 6 volume size
I want to upgrade my Ultra6 RNDU6000 RAID-5 with larger drives but not sure what is max volume can be. I read that max is 16tb is that correct? thanks

4x2TB gives you approximately a 6 TB data volume with single redundancy. You can expand to about 14 TB (the 8 TiB growth limit is the constraint).
So 4x4TB should be fine (it adds 6 TB, which is less than 8 TiB). 4x5TB or larger would require a factory reset.
If your firmware is not up to date, you should update that first. Very old firmware was limited to 2 TB drives.
