FINDING USED/UNUSED NAS 104 MEMORY STATUS

I have just installed 2No 4TB and 1No 8TB Ironwolf hard drives that involved a complete reboot and saving data temporarily onto 2 external drives.

How do I monitor the quantity of memory used/unused on all of the newly installed NAS hard drives?

I would like to if possible before transfering all the data back onto the NAS Drives.

Guidance would be much appreciated

"Memory" is RAM, so you want to know the amount of "drive space" used and available, right?

 

That information is available on the Shares and Volume pages of the GUI.  If quotas are enabled for the volume, the information on the Shares page gives you further detail as to usage by share.

Are you using XRAID?  If so, the capacity of the volume should be 8 TB (reported as ~7.2 TiB). 

 

This is suboptimal (if two largest drives aren't the same size then there is wasted space).  If you were to add a second 8 TB drive, the capacity would grow to 16 TB (~14.5 TiB).
