request: Capacity Calculator
I'e been doing searches about how to calculate capacity for my readyNAS and I think I understand it, but it's not nearly as much fun as: http://www.drobo.com/calculator/4-bay/index.php Just look...
It's still easy. If you have single redundancy, you remove one of the largest drives. So in the case 4x1.5TB drives and 2x3TB drives, it is 4x1.5x.93=5.6TB and 1x3TBx.93=2.8TB which equals 8.4TB. If you were 3 and 3, it would be 3x1.5TBx.93=4.2TB plus 2x3TBx.93=5.6TB for a total of 9.8TB. In the case of Dual redundancy you must have 4 of the larger drives for the second layer to come in, so in the either 4x1.5TB and 2x3TB or 3 and 3 you would have 4x1.5TBx.93=5.6TB.
Incidentally, the link above no longer works. I just put the numbers in Excel and let it do the calculation. Just remember to take out the 1 or 2 largest drives.
