HI,
I have a RAID 10 volume that seems to have a lower capacity that I expected. I have four 1TB drives in the set, and I was under the impression that this would create a 2TB total capacity, yet it's only 1.3TB. I know actual storage capacity on any given drive is smaller than the advertised amount, but this seems a little too small. Am I incorrect about how this should work?

It should be double you're right. 1 TB will read 931GB in my computer since Windows actualy reports GiB, so you should see 1.86 TB in my computer. Actual capacity isn't smaller than advertised, Windows just lies to you. As for what your issue is I can't help you there sorry.

you'll have to examine the drives partition to see where the rest of the space went.
