RAID GEEK ALERT

y = no. of chassis

z = number of discs in RAID after parity taken away

a = capacity of disc

b = percentage loss when formatting volume

((((y*2)-1)*z)*a)-b) = usable capacity

Or, if its a basic raid

(Total TB pre format - 1) * size of disks - 10% = Usable Capacity


With thanks to Sammy Aindow...
