If you do a factory reset with 12x2TB you'd end up with 20 TB (~18 TiB). with xraid-2 dual redundancy.
If you go down that path you should consider flexraid. Then you would have some other expansion choices in the future (for instance, upgrading 4 drives to 4 TB, and creating a second volume with the extra 8 TB).
